Abstract
This article analyses problems that contribute to the corruption of the Syrian security sector and offers recommendations for reforms. An in-depth look at issues with the Syrian security, police, military, intelligence, and judiciary sectors is provided. It is argued that the need for an institutional framework to exist is imperative for a post-Assad transitional period Syria. The article proposes implementing the recommendations set forth by the government defense anti-corruption index to move toward a more democratic Syria.
