Abstract :

While state are in charge of maintaining order and security and justice in society, they may sometimes become the factor of insecurity and disorder, in which case state crime occurs. State crimes are criminal and anti-social acts committed by states and state agencies against their own citizens. Countering with state crimes committed in society is the responsibility of states, but countering with crimes committed by states themselves is a challenging issue. Because there is no superior power to power of state. In this case, people and civil society can also counter with state crimes, which can be violent or non - violent. According to these issues, this article tries to investigate various criminal, judicial, and participatory criminal policies through criminal and non-criminal strategies with these crimes and evaluating these strategies with emphasis on Iran's criminal policy. The effective operation of the legislative and judiciary through criminalization and fair trial and the activities of public and non-governmental bodies, Violent and peaceful protests of the people and restorative justice are ways to deal with state crimes that have been analyzed in this article.
