Criminalization of Retaliation

Should whistleblower retaliation be treated as a criminal offense-particularly when it results in serious psychological injury? Retaliation not only affects mental health but often leads to financial loss and long-term unemployment, reputational damage, creating a cascade of negative effects that may warrant criminal accountability. Existing data and legal frameworks will inform a policy recommendation that reclassifies retaliation as prosecutable harm analogous to coercive or violent crime because it is normative violence and intentional harm.
