Granting structural independence to investigative bodies has historically been designed to shield them from political influence. This analysis of ten offices of inspector general in the United States, however, suggests that while formal independence is important, it alone may not be enough to protect the integrity of inspectors general's corruption-fighting mission. The personal integrity of political officials can be just as important. This study broadens the understanding of investigative independence in the literature and suggests alternative factors that also play a role in protecting the integrity of corruption-control mechanisms
