Abstract
Smuggling of goods and currency, as one of the main concerns in Iran, is a multifaceted phenomenon that causes disruption in the economic and social system and security of the country. Dealing with this problem in the criminal policy of Iran merits due attention. Inadequacy and inefficiency of criminal repression leads governmental officials to pay attention to preventative measures. Similarly, the second season of Anti-smuggling of goods and currency Act 2014 in Iran has been dedicated to preventing crimes. Based on the findings of the present study, measures of the Act are about to minimize delinquency through increasing the risks of crime and increasing efforts needed to commit it. As much as Situational Crime Prevention is developed from the traditional to the technological opportunities, the success of these strategies depends on the application of technological tools. The strategy of these measures, of course, faces challenges which are discussed in this article.
