With due attention to this fact that corruption is a
world problem today; and no country is secure from the destructive
results of corruption, discussion about measures that can prevent from
corruption or in case of being occurred , the perpetrators are punished
and damages are compensated is most important.
to opposite corruption as a criminal
phenomenon ,we can present two main measures based on criminal policy
view.
Firstly; restoring to preventive measures that can
be effective in creating a corruption-free environment, In fact
discussion about this is the main subject of this research.
Secondly; restoring to punitive measures.
In general classification, preventive measures that are applied in
opposition of corruption are divided into social prevention and
situational prevention.
In social prevention, based on this
reasoning that the most important social agent of corruption is
ignorance about the nature and committing causes and destructive results
of corruption, and ignorance about the combating methods of corruption,
those measures are argued that can increase public awareness about
corruption and methods against it, and this causes that civil society
citizens personally avoid corrupted manners.
In situational prevention, based on this
reasoning that the most important situational agent of corruption is
non-transparency, those measures are argued that strengthen transparent
structures like supervision, documentation and answering, and destroy
vague structures that cause corruption.
Finally; there are some suggestions that
could be applicable to the prevention of corruption.
