Prevent Misconduct points to outcomes that reinforce accountability through formal consequences. When misconduct is addressed, one of the clearest, most visible outcomes is that unlawful behavior is brought to the legal system and prosecuted. Criminal prosecutions establish clear consequences, deter similar violations by others, and show the public that misconduct will be met with serious, enforceable action. This deterrent effect is a direct way to prevent recurrence and uphold trust that standards are enforced.

The other options describe actions or aims that support prevention or relationship-building—such as transparency and oversight, proactive training, or community engagement—but they are not the direct, enforceable outcome that follows misconduct itself in the same way as prosecutions.
