Honor worship, honor seeking, or prejudice and zeal towards honor, is a view emerging from patriarchal culture. In this culture, a woman is considered as an honor and among the belongings and possessions of a man, and she must be obedient and submissive to him. As a man's honor, a woman must be accountable to her father and brothers in the first place and secondly to her husband and his family; That is, he should completely consider their desire and will in this field and leave his desire to forget. This approach provides the basis for conflict within families, and such conflict sometimes leads to the murder of women. In general literature, such murders are considered as "honor killings".

The present research was carried out using a descriptive-analytical method.

In the way of controlling honor killings in Iran, especially in Khuzestan province, due to the deep cultural and traditional background governing the tribes and social groups of this province, there are serious challenges in the field of nervousness, tribal structures and patriarchal thinking. There is. Therefore, the priority should be to fight and control honor killings, strengthen and create educational infrastructure and training measures for police and judicial officers, and strengthen culture and behavior pattern along with strengthening and advancing police measures. The importance of honor killings is so much that in some of the resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, this type of killings is included in the ranks of violence against women, and governments are asked to take more effective measures to prevent, prosecute and punish criminals. apply Among other things, preventive police measures have been emphasized.

One of the important axes of cultural criminology as one of the fields of study of critical criminology is cinematic explanations of crime and criminal justice. According to poststructuralist ideas, the representation of crime in cinematic works is the result of cultural constructions and the fabric of social power. Considering the increasing influence of cinema in the field of creating a public understanding of crime and increasing the audience of this art, the present study intends to analyze and critique the film "Joker" in the light of cultural criminology findings by qualitative content analysis. Based on the findings of the content analysis, the film "Joker" with a critical and anti-capitalist approach focuses on the four basic axes of crime carnival, crime pleasure, and crime as a culture and crime story. However, the overall evaluation of the film with emphasis on hidden meanings shows that the author, by indulging in critical approaches, on the one hand puts the project of criminal heroism on his agenda and on the other hand establishes an incoherent relationship between the cultural origin of crime and unequal distribution of wealth.

Crime is not merely a legal matter, but a social-cultural construction created by human beings. The main purpose of this article is study of social construction of crimes among young people in Rasht city. The study was conducted on the basis of qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews with a purposive sampling. Based on theoretical saturation 30 young adult of 20-35 years were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed based on thematic method of analysis. The results show that most of the youth have de-stigmatized some cultural categories such as violating hijab rules, make up, dance, having satellites and divorce. However, most of them still admit drug use, financial crimes, social inequality, failure to respect the rights of others and violence as a crime. Alongside these two narratives some young people are ambivalent about social issues such as cohabitation, alcoholic drinks and premarital relationship.

This paper is about how media constructs criminality and how it encodes such notion in real life’s understanding of criminality. Nowadays, there is almost a consensus on simplicity of this idea that the media merely reflect a social event. The media highlight their own reading from a social event which is according to specific cultural assumptions, and consequently media representation of youth crime is obviously not an exception in this issue. The way of representation has been always at the center of attention in cultural studies tradition. Having wide audience and a key role in reconstructing the popular culture, by producing soap operas, documentaries and broadcasting criminal news, television is one of the most prominent media in representing youth's crimes and deviations. Accordingly, the study of different aspects of Iran's media representation of youth's crimes and deviations which have been neglected in academic research is vital. To study on representation of youth's deviations, in this paper, we have concentrated on a television documentary named "Shock", which deals with social deviations in Iran's society among youths and is being broadcasted weekly, and we have tried to use semiotics to show its implications. Unlike popular perceptions, documentaries do not merely reflect social facts but similar to dramas they follow narrative patterns and reconstruct a manipulated image of social facts. Similarly, “Shock” follows the archetype of hero and anti-hero (good vs. evil) and looks for themes related to youth culture such as fashion, underground music and alternatives. The main strategy for this documentary to make conflict between “The goodies- The baddies” is symbolization. Using symbolization, “Shock” has made relations between conceptions such as fashion, underground music and alternatives and SatanismConceptual Framework: For analysis, the subject of this paper, moral panic which is related to Social construction of crime theory and labeling theory is a hard core. Social construction of the crime theory explains how interest groups, moral entrepreneur, and social movements, making claims about a particular type of social behavior. The concept of moral panic becomes developed with different approaches. using this concept, Cultural criminology as an approach derived from the tradition of cultural studies and embedding serious criticism to using simplified media coverage of crime concepts problematize interaction between media, crime and culture. Based on Cultural Criminology approach, Meaning of crime and control is constructed by representation system. The results of this research indicate that the “Shock” documentary besides stating social damages in youth's area as its primary signifier has secondary signifiers and semantic implications which have been encoded in form of social, technical and ideological codes. “Shock” uses underground music as a mediator, makes a connection between fashion and Satanism and by means of stereotyping and misrepresenting groups of youths, seeks for reproducing and inducing its own ideology among public. This program has two groups of audience; the youth who should receive the official discourse message, and those authorities who should respond to the social deviations and be more sensitive about social disorders. Criminalization based on the rule of law is in exclusive jurisdiction of legislature. However, the effects of public culture or specific subculture of youths are criminalized primarily through media, manipulated news, and daily papers, and consequently the perpetrators are called criminal or deviant. Regardless of legal considerations, in all cases, media criminalization is happened since these behaviors are called corruptive behaviors. Indeed it should be noted that the relation between media criminalization and Criminal justice system is dialectic and reciprocal one. On the one hand, the court and the police represent the ruling ideology and affect producing media criminalization discourse; on the other hand, the media has an effective role in emphasizing parts of youth culture for criminal justice system authorities. The finding of our research state that police officials as the experts of “Shock” television documentary have an important role in creating Myths for youths and at the same time they use those Myths themselves. Media stereotyping and creating myths like what was happened in “Shock” are firstly encoded in police discourse in binary forms such as “Madonna-Whore” or youths who are worthy of support and those who are not, secondly, Iran's criminal legislation reproduce such stereotypes and myths in forms of legal construction such as "Offenses against public decency and morality".

A growth in popular culture, the emergence of new life styles and the increasing importance of media representations in the last two decades have opened up new angles for dealing with the youth delinquencies. Cultural criminology as the melting point of criminology and cultural studies, far from seeking external causalities or making an excessive emphasis on structural and personal variables, assumes both crimes and criminals as social constructs whose understanding requires attending to the social context and the power relations existing in the society. The present paper first makes a quick review of discursive developments on the issue of youthscrimes. Following that I will make an account of cultural criminology approach and the capacities it shows explaining some current youth (sub) cultural issues. It is argued that cultural criminology is a useful option for revising the boundaries between culture and crime and could lead to a better understanding of the youth problems and therefore results in a better policy making.
