Analysis of Corrupt Activity (IMAGE) Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Caption Reporting of incidents of corrupt activity in an inner city area of Johannesburg. The dots represent incidents where either a corrupt exchange was observed (witnessed by researcher or related to interviewer by "suspect") or where there were other indications that a corrupt exchange had occurred (such as when an official invited a member of the public to enter a patrol vehicle before allowing them to continue, or when an individual placed an object on the ground which an officer subsequently picked up). The lines represent the closest distance between these events and a commercially zoned building. These maps were used to gauge whether the officers were more or less likely to participate in corrupt behavior "in public," i.e. commercial areas that are frequented by large numbers of pedestrians.
