Trustworthiness and the Deterioration of Guardianship
摘要
Building upon the conceptual analysis presented in the foregoing, this chapter focuses on empirical survey research conducted in Romania, aimed at evaluating the support for various propositions within convenience theory, specifically in relation to motive, opportunity, willingness, and, crucially, trustworthiness. This research is significant, as it seeks to uncover areas where convenience-related propositions could lead to a potential breach of trust among respondents. Strong support for these propositions may highlight specific vulnerabilities that, if addressed, could help reduce the likelihood of white-collar crime.
