The age of crime in various offenses is decreasing, so that the age of the perpetrators of some crimes has unfortunately reached to 13 years, and its number is expanding. In this regard, the manifestations of developmental prevention include Iran's religious teachings and legislative policy, as well as sustainable developmental prevention programs, including family-oriented, school-oriented and correctional programs (educational, cultural, religious, recreational-sports, social-work-therapy).

At the legislative level of the Iranian legislature in Article 88 of the Islamic Penal Code adopted in 2013, by establishing the principles governing the juvenile criminal justice system, attention to the family is at the center of their attention and what has not been considered in this regard is a proper implementation guarantee for the violations of court orders. It is obvious that according to the rehabilitative and developmental effects of the instructions mentioned in Note 88, the existence of a proper implementation guarantee ensures its better implementation by the family, and as a result, preventive and child-centered goals of the juvenile justice system are better achieved.

In order to produce and disseminate police knowledge and empower specialized researchers to meet the needs of the organization and promote the university's scientific status in national and international arenas, the deputy of research at Amin Police University is doing a variety of activities. One of the beneficiaries of these activities was the professors of Amin Police University, and the purpose of this study was to examine their expectations and measure their satisfaction with the research activity of the university.

This study used qualitative mixed method (content analysis of interviews) and quantitative (survey). The statistical population was, in the qualitative section, the structured interview with 8 professors related to the subject and, in the quantitative section, the completion of the researcher-made questionnaire by 126 professors of Amin Police University who were selected by targeted sampling method from various academic groups. In order to measure the validity of the instrument in the quantitative section, first the face validity of the questionnaire was done by interviewing the qualified experts in the qualitative part of the research and using the strategic research document and part of the standard SERVQUAL Quality of Service questionnaire was used. The reliability, using Cronbach's alpha, for research services was 0.931, for research achievements was 0.853, for research performance was 0.931, and for service quality was 0.969.

The professors' expectation from the university's deputy of research in the four areas of the study were 35 demands, and in the satisfaction section, 66% of the professors answering the questionnaire were very satisfied with the research executive affairs, 60% with the research services and 55.6% with the research achievements.

The results also showed that respectful behavior with stakeholders, especially educated people such as professors, plays a very important role in their satisfaction.

Identifying qualified managers is one of the challenges facing organizations. Given this challenge, the aim of the study was to present a model and identify barriers to succession with a mixed method approach in the I. R. I. Police Command Headquarters.

In this mixed method study, the theme analysis was used in the qualitative phase and descriptive-survey method was used in the quantitative phase. For this purpose, in the qualitative section, 32 experts and inspection experts of the I. R. I. Police headquarters were selected by targeted sampling method. In the quantitative phase, 250 staff experts and independent subordinate units were selected through a simple random sampling method and a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among them. Content validity, composite structure and reliability, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were confirmed. Hierarchical methods have been used to rank variables.

Findings of the research showed that the barriers to succession in I. R. I. Police in order of their priority are: the component of management with coefficient of 0.5748, organizational structure with coefficient of 0.3461, performance evaluation with coefficient of 0.0557, recruitment and employment with a coefficient of 0.0123, training with coefficient of 0.0046, and appointment and promotion with coefficient of 0.0035. In the management sections: Fear of the manager of the succession program, Structure: Emphasis on the executive capacity of the succession program, Performance evaluation: Inadequate evaluation of performance within the Islamic government, Recruitment: Ambiguity in the role, and in the Training section: Emphasis on transferring religious teachings they.

In order to have a set of people who can have suitable successors for current managers, the I. R. I. Police organization must take important obstacles into considerations, and senior managers, with their support of the category of succession, play an important role in achieving the organization's goals.

In the world's criminal systems, the police have specific positions and powers that are inspired by the principles and teachings of each criminal justice system, and naturally there are obvious differences between them that can be measured and evaluated, and identifying them can help the criminal system eliminate weaknesses.

According to the theoretical subject of the research, in terms of its nature it is of an applied research type which was conducted using library resources and documentary studies and translations of criminal laws and the presentation of materials was descriptive-analytical.

In the criminal system of common law, the police have a broader power for preliminary investigation due to the criminal prosecution and network communication system, but in the civilian criminal system there was no such authority, and the police are required to comply with prosecutors. It is within the framework of hierarchical communication; this hierarchical position and adherence to the prosecutor's office in the Iranian penal system also exists with minor changes.

The position of the police in the Iranian penal system and how it relates to the judiciary in terms of the type of communication they have with each other and defined in the law (hierarchical communication) needs to be reconsidered and granting some powers to deal with petty crimes to the police, while maintaining interaction between the police and the judiciary and decentralizing police prevention missions, will strengthen the position of the police in preliminary investigations.
