Case studies include the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, the 2007 Adam Air crash, the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal, and the 2020 Beirut ammonium nitrate explosion. It explores the mechanisms by which graft erodes safety, trust, and institutional integrity, and offers insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in safety and accident investigation.
