Abstract

Participatory criminal policies aim at the role of people and non-governmental organizations as a pillar of preventive policy.In this type of policy, which expresses the role and position of people and social and non-governmental institutions in the criminal process, it can be divided into two types of action (preventive or active) and reactionary (responsive or passive). The main goal of active or primary participatory criminal policy is to prevent or reduce crime by creating a culture of social behavior.It is also called social prevention and expresses the role of people in reducing crime. The purpose of reactionary or secondary participatory criminal policy is to involve the public and non-governmental organizations in the criminal process after the crime has been committed. Successful implementation of these laws and achieving the objectives of participatory criminal policy requires knowledge of the basicsAnd the effects of public participation as well as the necessary context for the implementation of legislative participatory policies in the mentioned laws, especially since both laws are new and it is possible that the implementation of legislative participatory policies faces challenges and limitations. .
