Abstract

Necessity of observation of human dignity in crime prevention strategy requires that individuals’ liberties are not restricted on the excuse of crime prevention. This matter appears, on the one hand, in the expansion of free space and reduction of controlled spaces and, on the other hand, in the formation of a thought-out strategy by the governments that observes human dignity in the form of social policies in order to prevent crime. In the meantime, crime prevention regulation, the purpose of which is to respect individuals’ rights and freedoms and to determine the scope of implementation of active preventive strategies, has been always emphasized and focused in Islamic teachings under the titles like advocating the privacy, dignity and freedom of humans. However, this criterion has faded in most of Western countries and the consequences of continuation of this challenge have been more crystallized for the citizens of these countries. Accordingly, the doctrines of Islamic jurisprudence is full of teachings which focus on active preventive policies along with respecting human dignity and explain punishments for the violators. This article aims to explain dignity-oriented crime prevention in the light of teachings of Islamic jurisprudence and religious sources and to describe its different aspects and manifestations.
