Is there a way to require passcode to shutdown iphone

So how do I do this? I noticed that you could easily shut down the phone EVEN though it locked.

This way Find My Iphone become quite useless right? So I'm sure there's a way to tell the phone to ask for the passcode before it let me (Or a thief) shut down the phone?

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

any thief worth their salt would quickly find a way to open up and disconnect the battery to void this


many people post in these forums with issues which would require them to shutdown or restart their device and having forgotten their passcodes, likely much more than ones who have their ios device stolen
