Abstract
Background
Crime prevention policy is a branch of criminal policy that seeks non-penal measures to prevent law-breaking in society. Regarding environmental issues, requirements related to environmental issues, including the irreparable nature of any damages directly related to life and the preservation of various natural issues, are doubly important to discuss prevention in this area.
Materials and Methods
This research is a descriptive-analytical study that employs library archives and other documents, books, and articles for collecting data.
Ethical Considerations
In all stages of conducting the current study, while respecting the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness were maintained.
Findings
The level of intervention of individuals and non-governmental supervisory institutions is among the issues considered in public participation for crime prevention. Such measures are deemed useful and desirable strategies in prevention studies, yet studies indicate that these strategies cannot deter all crimes.
Conclusion
Educating and raising public awareness is one of the supervisory functions of the mass media. As popular observers with a wide range of stakeholders, they can force a diverse range of social sectors to abide by the law and exercise caution in their activities. In this regard, ensuring the independence of the media is of paramount importance in creating a sense of trust in the people.
