Abstract :

Economic crime is one of the new concepts of modern society, which in terms of its threats to the stability and security of societies, traditions and values of democracy, moral values and justice, sustainable development and the rule of law, has become increasingly worrying. A.A. has considered such crimes as a major example of corruption on earth earth, economic crime, civil rights, repression, criminal law. Knowing the specific characteristics of such crimes in terms of the act committed, their contexts, scale, specific characteristics of the perpetrators, as well as their victimology, is a necessary condition for adopting a prudent criminal strategy against them. The criminalization of widespread disruption of the country's economic system is cited as an example of corruption on earth in Article 286 of the Islamic Penal Code adopted in 2013. The present descriptive-analytical study shows the lack of proportionality between the effects on the legislator's adopted approach and the nature of economic crimes; Despite the professionalism of the perpetrators of economic crimes and their use of complex methods, the approach adopted by the legislature is not capable of criminal deterrence; Consequences such as violations of economic rights and citizenship and criminal repression are also inconsistent with the nature of economic crimes. It seems that a deliberate confrontation with economic crimes, more than anything else, instead of resorting to the most severe criminal repressive tools, requires a differential approach to the investigation, as well as anticipation and application of various criminal, administrative, civil and correctional executions.
