Sažetak
Moving away from theoretical perspectives on and definitions of corruption that blame the individual and wishing to reach the analytical micro-macro bridge, our aim in this paper is to put focus on corrupted institutional relationships stabilized to the degree of distrust and disappointment of citizens. we will address the concept of self-sustainable sources (and social causes) of corruption in analyzing the role of corruption in blocking full democratization and development. In the paper we analyze the position of Croatian society comparatively through four ideal typical corruption levels constructed based on (ex post facto) corruption data on Croatia and transparency International CPI. corruption in the police and its social consequences are also tackled. The level of prevailing or total social corruption is finally interpreted through the lenses of Erich Fromm’s concept of the sane society, because of its totalitarian omen and the critical policy-oriented calling of sociology.
