Criminal policy in its broad and legal-social concept (as opposed to the narrow and equivalent concept (penal policy)) has been proposed in recent decades and has been more or less considered as a new order in the countries of continental Europe. Among the studies in This territory that has been implemented is that, this category, by paying attention to (invariable elements) existing in every criminal policy (crime - deviance and government response - social response) and (relationships) existing between these elements, (structural analysis) and (modelling). In this method, (crime) is investigated as a violation of mandatory norms, usually legal (normativity-must) and (deviance) as a violation of prevailing social norms or a state of non-compliance with the average behavior (normality - the dominant state of the existing behavior) is defined. Considering the pervasiveness of legal norms (the rules of obligatory khumsah tavariyyah) in Islam, for the study of criminal policy in Iran, dividing the behavior that violates the norm into (crime) and (deviance) - in the aforementioned concepts It is not practical. Nevertheless, in the normative system of Islam, controlled behaviors are distinguished from free behaviors

In some cases, the innate nature of criminal act is punishable regardless of realization or non-realization of any result, and in this sense, to realize the criminal responsibility, there needs causality relationship, since the relationship always requires two parties (i.e. behavior and result) and when result is not essential, the existence of a causal relationship will not be necessary. In some crimes where obtaining a criminal result is essential for its realization, three conditions are required for the realization of criminal responsibility: (i) the presence of criminal behavior, (ii) occurrence of a harmful incident, and (iii) existence of causal relationship between criminal behavior and harmful event. It is feasible to explore and prove causal relationship in some cases, especially when an agent was involved in the result realization, as someone killing somebody by a gun. Instead of providing a vivid and decisive rule, the 2012 Islamic Penal Code attempted to provide some solutions by taking certain situations and conditions into account. Given that, in transverse case of stewardess multiplicity, the result is taken into account of all parameters, and in the longitudinal case, the last stewardess may be the guarantor, the first stewardess, or even both. Besides, in the multiplicity assumption of causes transversely, equal responsibility has been ordered, and in case of longitudinal involvement, provided the unintentional crime, the primary stewardess has been mainly affected

Background and Aim: The International Criminal Court is a permanent and independent international body which, according to Article 5 of the Statute, deals with four categories of crimes, namely genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of rape, in the territory or by state citizens that may be exercised within the Court’s jurisdiction. Given the heinous crimes committed by ISIL members in the governments’ territory of Iraq and Syria, this apparently could be an issue to the Court’s jurisdiction.Research Methodology: The proposed study is analytical-descriptive in terms of its application and has been conducted by using library-based resources of laws and regulations, in particular the Statute of the Court.Results and Conclusion: The present article has investigated the possibility of applying judicial solutions to the International Criminal Court in investigating the crimes of the terrorist group ISIL as one of the most prominent Selfi -Takfiri groups and has concluded that based on the Court’ statute and due to the inability of the competent domestic courts, the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over ISIL both in terms of universal jurisdiction and complementary jurisdiction.

Our country's legislator has included the instance of provisional and educational measures in Islamic Penal Code approved in 2013 with great extensive changes. Thus, in this law, it has initially repealed security measures law approved in 1981 and has obviously recognized security and educational measures for children, adolescents, and the insane, and then besides most instances of the provisional and educational measures of the above law mentioned were determined as supplementary and secondary punishments, while the other cases were specified as fundamental punishments in the form of orders and measures, some of which are protective and some are educational added to the country's penalty system. The aim of provisional and educational measures with correctional, therapeutic, and educational strategies was to reduce the amount of crimes and reform them. Nowadays, with the expansion of crimes and emergence of new ones, determination of sorts of these actions and their scope expansion can be significantly helpful in judicial system. Provisional and educational measures in 2013 law are so extensive, diverse, and modern that many of them did not exist in Islamic Penal Code. Many legal articles of this law indicate the legislator's special attention to their application as well as the correction category and criminals' rehabilitation.

The permission of a non-innocent judge to rely on his personal knowledge as a judge is one of the long-standing issues recently become a problem which is afflicted by the judiciary. The matter of whether a judge can consider himself as non-reliance in a trial and vote only with his knowledge or whether being adhered to the reasons proposed by both parties in the trial has long been raised in our law and jurists have discussed its practice. Arbitration between the people and the resolution of lawsuits is a provincial position and the judge is in charge of this position. Judgment is a religious position and one of the duties of a comprehensive jurist other than the guardianship. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Islamic government, and perhaps it can be stated with confidence that the most basic duty of any government is resolving hostility and the issue of conflict between citizens as well as justice realization in numerous social areas. If we want to rely merely on jurisprudential and religious standards, we find that in the era of the absence of judicial guardianship, “in vain” is entrusted to a comprehensive jurist, and in principle, judging a non-jurist or not authorized by the jurist is illegitimate and non-influential. Hence, the proposed study has been dedicated to identify the significance, definition, impact and evaluative techniques of judge knowledge and finally, after discussing the relevant issues, it is concluded that in Iranian law, according to existing laws, only science of the evidence is valid. And the judge's personal knowledge is only in charge of controlling function of the other evidence. In other words, it merely stands for the untrue evidence, but cannot try to prove anything.

Background: Sometimes the involvement of several people in an operation leads to killing someone else. Anyone who can be charged with murder is a murderer, thus whenever the act of murder is documented to more than one person, a joint sentence can be issued between them. There are differences among the scholars about the retaliation permission of all partners; which is attempted to be illustrated in this article. The issue of complicity in murder is a problem related to retribution by which the courts in the country have received a majority of verdicts. The reason for this pluralism is the lack of issue recognition. It should be noted that retaliation is a ruling that relies on the individuals’ lives and dignity; therefore, it is essential to be careful in its implementation, and to know all its related matters. This investigation tries to identify all cases in which retribution is imposed on all participants. The ruling of Article 373 in the Islamic Penal Code, which stipulates the retribution of all partners in premeditated murder, is in terms of the verse “النفس بالنفس” and the caution principle for extravagance in murder, in terms of the punishment purpose as the non-interference of them in the punishment of killing a criminal who even commits numerous crimes and deserves several punishments is an issue of extravagance in murder. Materials and Methods: The proposed article is based on analytical-descriptive study of laws, jurisprudence, jurisprudential sources, legal books and articles as well as the other sources, their inference and conclusion. Findings: Not wasting in murder is an expression taken from verse 33 of Surah Al-Isra′ in which after stating the sanctity of killing someone and the right of the victim's guardian towards the murderer is prohibited from excessive murder. The verse appearance in terms of its previous phrase illustrates not to exaggerate in retaliation, however in terms of the term murder can also include cases where an individual deserves to be executed, so the extension of the death penalty such as the ropes use which cause taking a breather becomes extravagant in murder. Hence, being doubted this citation; we could not order the complicity in the murder. This research has been conducted by library method.
