Police corruption undermines public trust in law enforcement and government. It occurs when officers abuse their power for personal gain, such as through bribery, extortion, or stealing. This damages relationships between police and citizens and protests can arise from communities that feel unsafe or that their rights are being violated due to corrupt cops. Some of the police forces most plagued by corruption issues are in Pakistan, Russia, and Sudan.
