The role of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil in preventing crimes related to social networks Fundamentals, resources, opportunities and challenges Abstract Social crime prevention is more fundamental than situational prevention, but the high cost and late achievement of the result have made criminal policymakers less likely to pursue social prevention strategies. However, in different cultures, strategies can be adopted for this type of prevention that are welcomed by the public to reduce the scope of crime to a large extent with public participation. One of the methods is enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, which has been approved as a religious duty by the holy shari'a and the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but it has still been neglected. . This article seeks to show how enjoining the good and forbidding the evil can, as an example of social prevention, eliminate the context of crimes, especially crimes related to social networks. Enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is not only a religious solution and a religious duty, but also has rational and logical foundations, and therefore in non-religious countries, it has been welcomed by policymakers under the title of public oversight. Accordingly, in addition to religious principles and sources, we have also explored rational and legal principles and sources. Of course, the implementation of this duty faces many obstacles and challenges. created by forming parties and non-governmental organizations and strengthening and supporting them, and this tool should not be used politically or factionally, and those who perform this duty should not be held accountable. Also, the conditions and levels of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil must be carefully observed and it must not be exploited as a tool, otherwise it will lead to the opposite result. .
