Political Scandals: The Consequences of Temporary Gratification

Political Scandals: The Consequences of Temporary Gratification questions whether the consequences associated with non sex-based scandals carry greater penalties than sex-based political scandals in the 21st century. Featuring a detailed analysis of over 50 political scandals, this book examines the impact that scandals have on the lives of political officials, their families, and the public’s trust. Political Scandals diminishes the typical sensationalism associated with scandal coverage and dissects what happens when human beings yield to greed, power, sex, lust, and theft in their personal and professional lives.
