A citizen is a person who, on the one hand, has political and civil rights in relation to the government, and on the other hand, has obligations to the government. Although the two concepts of citizenship and human rights have many similarities; But the origin of each is different. Modern citizenship rights are considered separate from human rights. Citizenship has four pillars: "enjoyment of rights", "existence of duties", "defense of the rights of other members of society" and "active participation in social affairs". According to the recent rule, citizens can be divided into active and passive citizens. Active citizens can play an important role in crime prevention in society. One of the most obvious examples of this role is "commanding the good and forbidding the evil of citizens" in the society. Also, taking preventive measures is another example of active participation of citizens in reducing crime in the society.
