摘　　要：本文致力于考察社会互动对腐败生命周期中时间性因素的影响方式。基于起诉书数据集的大样本统计分析,本文主要有以下三点研究发现:首先,围绕公权力的持续性社会互动,会在行贿主体与受贿主体双方的双向诱导效应下,加快权力持有者的沉沦速度,即缩短贪腐官员从任职到第一次犯罪的时间间隔;其次,通过将腐败交易浸没在日常化的社会交往过程中,社会互动显著延长了贪腐行为的持存期,即延长了从第一次犯罪到被抓捕的时间间隔;第三,社会互动会导致贪腐行为产生功能自主性,加快贪腐行为再生产的节奏,即缩短多次重复犯罪的时间间隔。This study seeks to examine how social interactions influence temporal factors in the lifecycle of corruption.Based on the temporal perspective,this study decomposes the life cycle of corruption cases into three stages:formation,persistence and reproduction.It proposes three corresponding temporal concepts of corruption:the speed of descent into corruption by power holders,the latent period of corruption,and the frequency of corrupt behaviors.Three major findings were yielded from the statistical analysis of the dataset of around 24000 corruption indictments.First,continuous social interactions around public power produce a two-way inducement effect between bribe-takers and bribe-givers,which significantly shortens the time interval between a corrupt official's tenure of office and the first offence committed.Second,by blending corrupt transactions in normal social exchanges,social interactions significantly prolong the latent period of corruption,that is,the time interval between the first crime and indictment.Third,social interactions can lead to the routinization of bribery transactions based on functional autonomy,and therefore accelerate the frequency of corruption,that is,the time intervals between recurring offences.This study argues that the major difference between bribery and embezzlement lies in whether there is a complex social interaction revolving around public power.Therefore,compared to embezzlement,bribery mingled in social interactions exhibits a much quicker path to crime,a longer latent period,and a higher frequency.This paper proposes three variables for measuring the life cycle of corruption from a temporal perspective,with a view to providing new perspectives on corruption measurement.It brings about an important shift in the understanding of corruption from an individual event to a process analysis,and deepens the understanding of the formation mechanisms of corrupt behavior and its governance.
