The Implementation of Criminal Compliance as a Criminal Policy to Combat Corruption

The systemic corruption that exists in Brazil, in the public and private spheres, is one of the biggest challenges of the criminal justice system of the last decade in the country. The way to combat economic crimes is a major challenge for the criminal sciences, where, in the last decade, the legislator began to adopt alternative methods, such as the use of compliance programmes to prevent these crimes. Thus, it is the objective of this work to analyse whether criminal compliance could be adopted as a new form of criminal policy in the fight against corruption. It is concluded that there is a need to establish a culture of ethics and integrity in public and private institutions in Brazil, changing the course of the criminal policy of repression and prevention of corruption.
