This is the homepage for the Ethics and Integrity project. It brings together the findings from academic research into citizens' attitudes towards political ethics and politicians' conduct in Britain.

The project explores how people reason about and judge the integrity of politicians and political processes. It analyses how concerned citizens actually are by political misconduct in Britain, and it investigates the importance of both direct experience and media coverage in shaping their perceptions.

Whatever your background, we hope this project and its website will be of interest to you.
