A more thorough explanation:

Malconduct in office refers to a public officer's corrupt violation of assigned duties by malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance. It is also known as official misconduct, misbehavior in office, malconduct in office, misdemeanor in office, corruption in office, or political corruption.

Examples of malconduct in office include:
