Abstract
Ten in-depth interviews with professors and college students were applied as a qualitative phase of the research in order to understand habits, experiences and perceptions about academic dishonesty. A survey with two hundred college students indicate that the number of incidents of cheating is significantly higher than standard estimations in the United States; the quality of students’ social networks is the most important factor explaining cheating and honor codes, whose perceived enforcement does not deter cheating.
