Whistle Blower -

A whistle blower is defined as an individual who reports the illegal actions of a company or corporation that is defrauding the government. Although the strict definition of whistle blower requires that the company that is in the wrong must be doing business with the government, and that the whistle blower inform the government of illegal action that has been or is being taken, these days the term whistle blower has been expanded to include anyone who reports crimes that are being committed without the knowledge of the victim.

A whistle blower could report financial fraud, health or environmental violations, or anything else that is illegal and is against public policy. Famous whistle blower cases have included whistle blowers who have informed the government of dangerous chemical dumps that affected the health of people who lived near the illegal dump sites.

Because a whistle blower could lose his job or even his life if the people he reported learned his identity, whistle blowing activities are done in secret, and whistle blowers are protected by law.
