In recent decades, the concept of criminal policy, in its broad legal and socio-political context, has gained attention in continental European countries as a modern system, in contrast to the narrow and equivalent concept of penal policy. Among the studies within this domain, it is noteworthy that this issue has been subject to structural analysis and modeling, taking into account the unchanging elements in any criminal policy, including crime, deviance, governmental response, societal response, and the fundamental and subsidiary relationships between these elements. In this analytical approach, 'crime' is often defined as a violation of necessary legal norms, characterized by normativity and necessity, while 'deviance' is defined as a breach of prevailing social norms or a state of non-conformity with average behavioral standards, often characterized by normality and the prevailing state of behavior. Due to the widespread prevalence of legal norms, such as the divine legal duties, in Islam, the division of norm-violating behaviors into 'crime' and 'deviance' within the concepts mentioned is not particularly practical for studying criminal policy in Iran. Nevertheless, within the Islamic normative system, controlled behaviors are distinguished from free behaviors

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
