Abstract

Fighting corruption is one of the most basic demands of the people for governance. In this regard, the issue of detecting and preventing corruption is important and is largely related to social, cultural and ... necessities. Although the common view among policymakers is a tendency to focus on oversight. However, the impossibility of the presence of inspectors in all situations that require supervision has made this method ineffective. In other legal systems, including the United States, there is a literature called "whistle-blowing" in which public observers hear the voice of a deviant organization and are rewarded in return. Therefore, the issue of whistling has become one of the main strategies of legislation and policy-making. The findings showed that despite the fact that the legislature in Iran uses this tool. However, a coherent literature has not been formed in this regard and in some cases, by introducing women's whistles as informants, it has caused a general reluctance to do so. In this article, in which the method of inference is analytical-descriptive, the principles of legitimacy and the nature of whistling in Imami jurisprudence, Iranian law, and with a brief look at the United States are examined.
