In the qualitative part, a grounded theory approach was used, and in the quantitative part, structural equation modeling was used to test the model. The statistical population is elites and professors in the field of criminal policy, and in the qualitative part, 15 samples were selected using a purposeful method, and in the quantitative part, 80 elites,
Findings and Results: The research findings have shown that in the qualitative part, the requirements for realizing Iran's participatory criminal policy in the field of economy have been defined and specified in three core categories (empowerment of civil society, strong government response, and control and prevention), 8 central categories, and 21 open codes. In the quantitative part, control and prevention with a coefficient of 0.58, empowerment of civil society with a coefficient of 0.34, and strong government response with a coefficient of 0.30 have had a direct and significant effect on Iran's participatory criminal policy in the field of economy. As a result, it can be said that the presence of three important components in Iran's criminal policy: empowerment of civil society, strong government response, and control and prevention can lead to the development of policies in this field.
