What I would look at is simple "organization", that is the gathering together of like minds. This is how governments are formed, people forming an organization that promotes a system which could either be functional, dysfunctional, honest or dishonest. The point is that they all have to support the organization from within. There is usually a call for resignation within an organization when corruption is exposed but that same corruption in the private sector usually leads to imprisonment. Its a double standard of course but one that works for the controlling half and this is what leads to the encouragement of corruption within the organization. Its like honor among thieves, they all know their crooked but somehow the respect each other and anyone who is on the outside of the circle will receive punishment should they tangle with the group. Whistle blowers are not a product from within but an idea that came about for the concern of those outside of the organization. Let's face it, we don't chop heads off anymore, nor do we hang people. We simply slap the hand and then try humane ways of rehabilitation, which in a way is like pampering those that are corrupt.
