Abstract

This article provides a comparative study of the Bribery Act 2010 in the UK and the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947 in Pakistan. The article analyzes the similarities and differences between the key provisions of the two Acts, including the types of corruption offenses covered, penalties for corruption offenses, and implementation challenges. The article also refers to relevant case laws, articles, and books to support its analysis. The findings of the study suggest that while there are some similarities between the two Acts, such as the focus on the prevention of corruption and the punishment of offenders, there are also significant differences in their provisions and implementation. The study concludes by calling for further reforms to strengthen the legal framework for the prevention and prosecution of corruption offenses in both countries.
