Abstract
Background and Aim: NGOs were initially established as competitors to governments, with the goal of putting pressure on them to perform their duties and responsibilities, but over time, the conditions for interaction between government and NGOs was created. In relation to these organizations, one of the somewhat forgotten approaches is the ethical approach of NGOs in response to crime and its prevention, which the present study will address.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, after searching and reviewing the resources, the ethical and social role of NGOs in responding to crime and its prevention will be discussed and analyzed.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, issues related to research ethics including them trustworthiness in citing the texts and references of the article have been considered.
Findings: In Iranian law, according to Article 156 of the Constitution, in determining the duties of the judicial system, responding to crime and preventing the occurrence of crimes is considered one of the most important duties of the judiciary. It seems that assigning these duties only to the judiciary is a strategic mistake, and in the way of achieving the goals of the law, non-governmental organizations and public institutions can provide grounds for crime prevention through education and promotion of public culture.
Conclusion: NGOs basically have a moral orientation and ethical principles combined with Social interaction govern their organizational culture. Popular institutions along with the judiciary can play a major role in preventing and responding to crime.
