Abstract :

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of criminal laws and regulations on domestic law and its role in reducing social Harmes. The study population is law students in Yasuj and Shiraz, from which 250 people were selected and according to Cochran's formula, 152 people were studied as a sample size by simple random sampling. The method used in this research is quantitative and a questionnaire. The data obtained from the questionnaire are analyzed using SPSS statistical software at two levels.In the first level, it has been analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and in the second level, using inferential statistical methods (one-sample t-test). findings show that strict laws such as imprisonment along with deterrent laws and alternative social punishments can play an important role in reducing social harms. In addition, the Office for the Protection of Children's Rights approved in 1399 is a new idea that can play an important role in reducing social harms if appropriate approvals are implemented. In addition, pre- and post-penal repair mechanisms play an important role in reducing social harms. Efforts to reduce social harm through domestic laws and regulations can also provide an indigenous model for reducing this social problem.
