Corruption is a very underreported offence, as victims have the feeling that the authorities do not care about corruption: why report? An extensive statistical analysis of corruption cases handled by the prosecution and the court showed that the camera obscura metaphor had to be refined: apart from being opaque, the law enforcement institutions behave like a random box.

The study identifies a research gap in thoroughly assessing the relationship between the acceptance and expediency of corruption regarding the mediating effect of culture. Prior studies have investigated cultural impacts on corruption, but a more thorough analysis of how cultural values and practices moderate the connection between the acceptance and expediency of corruption appears necessary.

The academic community has devoted considerable attention to the issue of corruption perception, but relatively little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of corruption perception as such. There is a need to understand how individuals without personal experience of corruption perceive corruption. There is a need to identify key sources shaping corruption perceptions and to reaffirm the media's dominant role as an information source on corruption.

Future research could explore the relationship between social representations and media narratives in shaping corruption perceptions. Future research could examine the role of extrapolation in individual assessments of corruption. Future research could investigate the implications of the study's findings for policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand and address corruption.
