Abstract :
    As a result of the failure of the traditional penal system (based on punishment and rehabilitation) in curbing the increasing rate of delinquency, the necessity of adopting preventive strategies was more and more considered. Among the types of current approaches, crime prevention through social development has found a special place among criminological researches and criminal policies. The need to examine the social conditions that cause crime and to participate in the efforts of the society and its various elements such as the family, educational, health and service institutions in the prevention of crime has never been considered to this extent.Based on this, the purpose of this research is to analyze the media in preventing the occurrence of crime and the occurrence of psychological and social harms, and with documentary methods and reference to various valid researches, which were expressed in the form of two words. The findings of the research indicate that the media has the ability to sensitize the general public to the issue of crime prevention at the level of local and national communities. Therefore, introducing and identifying the merits and results of the implementation of successful projects and clarifying how to reduce crimes or resolve disputes is one of the commitments that should be made through the media.
