Experience and perceptions of corruption

A corruption survey is a tool for measuring the experiences, perceptions, and/or attitudes of a specific population regarding the nature and extent of corruption in a given context. Surveys are normally based on a representative sample of a defined group in order to make statistical inferences about that group as a whole.

Corruption surveys may cover multiple countries, a single country or a sub-region within a country and may be directed at the general population, or at specific demographic groups.
