Background and Aim:Participatory criminal policy has been defined as a criminal policy that involves the participation of civil society, within which, attempts are made to address criminal phenomena using community-based organizations in company of other criminal justice institutions such as the police and the judiciary. There is no doubt that traces of participatory criminal policy should be sought in the lessons of predecessors that have emerged in the context of the establishment and transformation of societies, but in recent years, in the light of modern criminological schools such as social reaction theories and the achievements of legal criminology, as a branch of applied criminology, the approach of governments towards involving people in criminal phenomena has undergone significant changes. It should be said that, today, people's participation in criminal justice institutions includes a systematic and effective approach to both the preventive (pre-crime) and reactive (post-crime) aspects of crime prevention. According to this fact, this research aims to investigate the prevention aspects of participatory crime prevention, in an attempt to answer the question of which aspects of participatory prevention are active and reactive in Iran's criminal policy. Materials and Methods: The research method in this article was descriptive-analytical. Ethical Considerations: All ethical principles have been followed in writing this article. Findings &Conclusion: The results show that Iran's legislative policy, especially in the Code of Criminal Procedure approved in 2013 with subsequent amendments and the Crime Prevention Law approved in 2015, has accepted aspects of civil society participation in active and reactive participatory prevention.
