Name and shame

To name and shame is to "publicly say that a person, group or business has done something wrong".

[1] It is a form of public shaming used to rally popular opinion against and, in turn, discourage certain kinds of behavior or enterprises.

[7][6][5] Naming and shaming is a common strategy to compel and deter changes in state and non-state behavior.

[8][9][10] It has also been used to compel improvements in environmental policies,[11][12] stopping whaling being one such example.

[13][14] Naming offending individuals or businesses (with the implied objective of shaming them) is sometimes used as an instrument of public policy intended to promote compliance with legal obligations or with the duty to put right the damage caused by non-compliance.
