Because corruption investigations are begun by third-party suspicions, the Commission has tried to inform the public about the importance of reporting any suspicions they have concerning corrupt activities. Corruption prevention often consists of teaching institutions how to implement better supervision and management techniques. The Commission has separate departments to deal with each aspect of its anti-corruption effort. Between 1974 and 1988, allegations of corruption against police officers have decreased by two-thirds and other government officials by one-half, while allegations against private sector individuals have increased by nearly 300 percent. The Commission feels these numbers indicate a greater public willingness to report suspicions of corruption. In addition, many organizations are requesting the services of the corruption prevention department. Despite the apparent success of Hong Kong's anti-corruption efforts, there has been adverse reactions to the Commission by other government agencies and some human rights organizations.
