I doubt that agriculture is associated with corruption and crime.

In my experience the bribe problem is far more common in Mexico City than it is in rural agricultural areas of Mexico, or provincial cities like Guadalajara.

You are probably even less likely to find a corrupt policeman in the farm areas of Nebraska than you are in Los Angles.

But in the entire US the area you are most likely to find a corrupt policeman is in the state of Louisiana, in both the rural and urban areas. Louisiana is a state which operates on the Napoleonic Code, in addition to the English Common Law used in the rest of the US. Perhaps that's one reason why. But perhaps not, and I'm sure there are many other reasons.

I think culture is the primary determinant of crime and corruption, but how this evolves is complex.
