Abstract

The jurisprudential strategy of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil are practical practices that are among the most important religious duties, and have a special place in the religion of Islam. With the correct implementation of this strategy, a healthy society will be created, far from ugliness and crimes, because enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is the basis of a healthy social education, and also does not leave the individual and society with the public sensitivity to sin. Go to slavery and fall and it is applicable in any situation. This important strategy, by influencing all stages of crime formation, its effect on reforming society, preventing and preventing the occurrence of crimes, as well as its dominance over all social relations, has caused it to have an important place in Islamic criminology. Considering that the mechanism of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil in its nature is based on prevention and public supervision, and has also been considered in non-religious writings, we decided in this article to make a comparative study between this jurisprudential strategy and the theory of broken windows to analyze. Let us pay attention to the differences and gaps in this theory by adapting to the jurisprudential method of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.
