Abstract :
Although no constitution has explicitly provided for public opinion in the constitution, it has been able to play an important role in the criminal justice policy of various governments. One of the influential aspects of this phenomenon in Iranian criminal policy is the discussion of penalties for criminal behavior. The purpose of this research is to study the impact of public opinion on the impact of public opinion on penalties in Iranian criminal justice policy using a descriptive-analytical method based on documentary and library studies. The report concludes that public opinion as An important factor and punishment criterion is considered in Iranian criminal justice policy, and this is especially evident when public opinion is aware of the crime and is sensitive to it. Generally crimes such as adultery, sodomy, prophecy, moharebeh, corruption on earth, rebellion, insults to religions, environmental crimes, etc. are crimes whose public opinion has affected their punishment.
