What is two effects of corruption on individuals? And provide one example to support each.

Answer 1

Answer:

Corruption hurts everyone.

The impact of corruption goes beyond the corrupt individuals, the innocent colleagues who are implicated, or the reputation of the organisations they work for. Ultimately, Victorians are the ones who lose out.
