Seems like an effective way to deter corruption.

Unfortunately you can't deter corruption, some humans are just worthless but can hide themselves as a worthwhile person for a while. This does, however, ensure the effects of corruption are ended pretty quickly after its found and proven.

Not really. That’s just unapproved corruption.
