        Considering the huge changes that have been happening in the field of technology and the various revolutions that we have witnessed in the field of information and communication technology in the last few years, and considering the positive function of this technology, it is sometimes observed that some profit-seeking and opportunistic people try to abuse the users and to create a series of problems by learning and having the necessary skills. The cyber space provides new and highly advanced opportunities for breaking the law, as well as the potential to commit conventional and classic types of crimes in unconventional and very new ways so that the cyber criminals can do whatever they want and have in their mind in this zero and one galaxy. Considering this issue, the present study aims to explain the status of the situational prevention of cybercrimes in the light of the dominant pathology. Through the descriptive and analytical research methodology the current research has reached this important achievement that preventive measures such as restricting or denying access, regulatory measures, licensing measures, anonymizing tools, and encryption can be helpful in situational prevention of crimes in the cyberspace.

        The anonymity and low cost of cyberspace make it a unique environment. Due to this characteristic and the widespread influence of cyberspace among young people, it is particularly pertinent to examine the impact of environmental characteristics on crime. Following the topic, the research aims to investigate how environmental factors and features may influence young cyberspace users' criminal behavior. In order to conduct the present applied research, the researchers utilized the survey method. This study investigated cyberspace users aged 18 to 35 living in Shiraz. The researchers selected 300 people on random sampling basis and developed a questionnaire to conduct the study. SPSS-26 software and descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the correlation between encouraging environmental factors and rate of crimes committed by the mentioned group of cyberspace users is meaningful. Therefore, the more intensive the environmental factors that encourage crime, the higher the crime rate are observed. Furthermore, the calculations indicate that deterrent factors are significantly correlated with crime. An increase in deterrent factors can contribute to the reduction of crime. Taking into account the characteristics of cyberspace and the intensification of factors that encourage crime, special attention should be paid to developing and modifying appropriate software platforms. Furthermore, increased parental interaction with their children and establishing indirect controls can also reduce the rate of crime among the mentioned group. Manuscript profile
