The role of the accused in the process of dealing with economic crimes from the point of view of the basics of criminal law and criminology

Economic crimes are a new form of criminal phenomenon that have occurred in various formats and forms such as money laundering, smuggling of goods and currency, economic computer crimes in the economic and social scene of society. The relationship between these crimes and the economic and social system is a cause and effect relationship and complement each other. Economic crimes can have harmful and unfortunate economic, social and even political consequences for the country, which requires a serious and comprehensive fight both at the national and international levels. The purpose of the current research, which was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way, is to investigate the role of the accused in the process of dealing with economic crimes from the perspective of the basics of criminal law and criminology. The perpetrators of economic crimes are intelligent people and it is not possible to compare them with the perpetrators of other crimes. Undoubtedly, the possibility of interrogating and prosecuting these people in a specific way cannot be an effective step in the process of proceedings. On the other hand, the wide dimensions of these crimes make some people who can play an important role in discovering the facts unable to be effective in the judicial process due to the fear of confronting influential people. The results of the current research showed that this category of defendants should be evaluated from three perspectives: 1. Based on the personality of the perpetrator, 2. Based on the type of crime committed, such as specialization and technicality or its dangerousness, and 3. Based on the purpose of the crime and the victim.
