Crime in Hungary
Crime in Hungary is combated by the Hungarian police and other agencies.
General
In 2010, there were an average of 4,000 crimes against every 100,000 members of the population, of which at least 50% were considered serious crimes.[1]
Corruption
Corruption is a severe issue in Hungary.[2] According to Transparency International Hungary, almost one-third of top managers claim they regularly bribe politicians.[2] Most people (42%) in Hungary think that the sector most affected by bribery is the political party system.[3]
Bribery is common in the healthcare system in the form of gratitude payment–92% of all people think that some payment should be made to the head surgeon conducting a heart operation or an obestetrician for a child birth.[4]
