The purpose of this research is to obtain the important and valuable points of crime prevention in the thoughts of the Supreme Leader.

 This research was conducted using a descriptive-explanatory qualitative method with the tool of content analysis and by referring to all the statements of the Supreme Leader including his speeches from 1990 to 2022. Also, "MAXQDA" software was used for data analysis.

 The findings of the research show that according to the Supreme Leader's point of view, the issue of crime prevention, in addition to being one of the important missions of the judiciary, is a supra-judicial issue that requires the interaction of all organizations. In total, for the requirements of crime prevention, sixteen indicators, including the scientific nature of crime prevention, finding the root causes of crime, science and experience, empathy, recognizing solutions, monitoring, etc., and for its importance and necessity, seven indicators including crime reduction and its costs, increasing security and good administration of the country, etc., were identified.
