Information About

Scandal




A scandal is a widely publicized incident involving allegations of wrong-doing, disgrace, or moral outrage. A scandal may be based on reality, or the product of false allegations, or a mixture of both.

Some scandals are broken by a Whistle-blower revealing wrongdoing within an organization or a group. Falsely alleged scandals can lead to a witch-hunt against the innocent. Sometimes an attempt to Cover Up a scandal ignites a greater scandal when the cover-up fails. Classes of scandals include:

The United States in the 1950s was swept by a wave of Quiz Show Scandals . Another major type of scandal is a Corporate Scandal , especially corporate Accounting scandals. A wave of corporate accounting scandals swept United States companies in 2002 (see Accounting Scandals Of 2002 ).
