Inducement through bribery in commercial activities represents a serious form of private-sector corruption that undermines fair competition, market integrity, and public trust in economic institutions. This article examines the criminal-law and criminological aspects of commercial bribery, focusing on its legal characteristics, causes, patterns, and preventive mechanisms. Using a doctrinal and criminological approach, the study analyzes how inducement by bribery is criminalized in different legal systems, identifies its latent nature and socio-economic determinants, and evaluates contemporary prevention strategies, including corporate compliance and international anti-corruption standards. The findings show that effective criminalization combined with criminological prevention is essential to reducing commercial bribery.
