Abstract
One of the most fundamental problems of countries is administrative and economic corruption, which has always been a concern of societies. In this regard, many solutions have been presented both in the domestic sphere of the countries and at the international level, most of these solutions have entailed a lot of cost and manpower for the governments, and every day, due to the complexity of relations at the level of societies, more technical and costly solutions are needed. One of the most important ways to fight against administrative and economic corruption is the use of social forces and the involvement of civil society to monitor the government's performance. This method not only reduces the need to attract human resources to structures and consequently costs, but on the other hand, it increases public trust towards the government and strengthens the sense of responsibility in citizens; And also, due to the large population and its dispersion in the whole country, if it is implemented properly, it can be more comprehensive than other anti-corruption tools, and if it is not implemented properly, it can be as dangerous as it is useful. What are the characteristics of a desirable disclosure system? In this research, an attempt has been made to take a look at the differential criminal policy of supporting corruption whistleblowers in Iran's penal system with a descriptive and library method.
