The administrative system, as the driving engine of development, is an essential component for operationalizing government programs and achieving state objectives. Therefore, a healthy, efficient, and effective administrative system constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of successful governance. The core of any administrative system consists of its “human resources,” whose moral integrity plays a critical role in realizing governmental programs and preserving social capital.  Given that human beings are exposed to various vulnerabilities; contemporary societies seek to organize optimal responses to criminal phenomena. The present article, which is descriptive-analytical in nature and employs library-based research methods, aims to answer the fundamental question: What are the characteristics of an ideal criminal policy in the administrative system?  The findings indicate that, in formulating such a policy, due attention must be paid to its coherence, evaluability, and public participation in both its design and implementation. To achieve an optimal criminal policy within the administrative system, the following components should be incorporated:  Rational components: Rationality here means relying on valid sources of knowledge, reasoning capacity, and direct cognition. These include drawing on the findings of criminological schools, principles of good governance, economic considerations, developmental foundations, preventive measures, rehabilitation of offenders, and balanced participation of governmental institutions and NGOs.  Philosophical components: Policymakers must pay particular attention to societal culture — insofar as it does not conflict with established scientific truths or fundamental rights of citizens — so that the resulting policies enjoy broad public acceptance.  Empirical components: Utilizing proven practical achievements such as the implementation of preventive policies, administrative transparency, protection of whistleblowers, and the application of modern technologies can significantly contribute to reducing crimes and administrative violations while enhancing the overall integrity of the administrative system.
