Prevention of misconduct by reflecting on the teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah

The crime of embezzlement is one of the economic crimes that, despite the extensive efforts made for criminal responses, has not reduced the number of perpetrators. On the other hand, in today's society, non-criminal prevention, and specifically social prevention, has found a prominent place with the development of criminology. Among the teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah, there are many precise points in this regard, including that one of the important components of Imam Ali (as) in hiring government positions was piety and trustworthiness of his agents and his government policy of encroaching on the treasury by those who possessed it. It is worth noting. To this end, the present article, by appealing to the commands and recommendations contained in Nahj al-Balaghah, seeks to specifically address the social prevention strategies of the crime of embezzlement in order to reduce the incidence of this crime. In general, the results of this article try to present the preventive teachings of criminologists in a categorized and methodical way by adapting to the valuable book of Nahj al-Balaghah in the field of embezzlement crime, so that the executors of the criminal justice system can be required to implement it. The important question of the article is to what extent are the teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah consistent with preventive criminological approaches? This research has been done by analytical-theoretical method and with a functionalist approach.
