Reasons of corruption in cross-methodological measurement

The article observes two opposite methodological approaches to the problem of corruption reasons. The first approach, economic and legal, is concentrated on studying the factors of corruption behavior factors, external to the human person. In another approach, psychoanalytic one, the attention of scientists is focused on the deep timeless features of the human personality that engender corrupt behavior. The authors are convinced that the complex understanding of corruption reasons is possible only through integration of economical, legal, social and psychological approaches. Though when the modern social science the uses extensive potential for creation as an integrated platform for researching reasons of corruption, it has its potential in an insignificant measure. The authors lay the main hopes for creating a cross-methodological field for researching reasons of corruption on the crime sociology (criminology) and legal psychology.
