Abstract
Crimes against wildlife is one of the most important environmental challenges in today's era, and the fight against it should always be updated in the light of comparative surveys of various criminal policies. In this regard, the aim of this article is to examine the most important preventive criminal policy approaches of Iran and England against crimes against wildlife. The upcoming article is descriptive and analytical and has investigated the mentioned subject by using the library method. This article focuses on two types of prevention policies, situational prevention and social prevention. The findings indicate that in both Iranian and English laws, the deployment of zoo and environmental protection units is the most important method of situational prevention. Also, creating awareness and culture is the most important method of social prevention. Despite these challenges, such as various transformations in the realm of crimes against wildlife, its white-collar nature is visible in the face of these answers. Empowering local communities and using the capacities of criminal justice institutions leads to overcoming these challenges. This research has found that the globalization of the culture of crime prevention has created new and suitable opportunities to fertilize Iran's and England's response to crimes against wildlife. It has a clear response to the aforementioned crimes compared to Iran's criminal policy.
