Thesis:

Examining the Impact of Social Justice on the Reduction or Increase of Crime Rates in Iranian Criminal Law”

Social justice is considered one of the fundamental pillars of the legal and social order of any society and plays a role as the main factor of balance, cohesion and stable security among individuals and social institutions. In any legal system where social justice is realized in a structural and practical way, citizens enjoy a sense of security, equality and respect for human rights, and as a result, criminal motives are reduced. With the aim of analyzing the effect of social justice in reducing or increasing the amount of crimes in Iran's criminal law, this research has investigated the theoretical foundations of the relationship between social justice and crime, justice-oriented principles in the constitution and criminal laws, and how these principles are reflected in the country's criminal policy. The research method used is descriptive-analytical and based on library sources, legal documents and comparative analysis of Iranian criminal laws. The findings indicate that social justice not only plays a preventive role in reducing crimes, but its lack is one of the main causes of the formation of criminal behaviors and the emergence of social abnormalities. Any injustice in the economic, judicial or distribution of opportunities can lead to an increase in crimes and a weakening of public trust. Based on this, the implementation of justice-oriented policies in Iran's criminal system, including the amendment of discriminatory laws, protection of the deprived classes, and guaranteeing equal rights of citizens, can lead to a significant reduction of crimes, improvement of public security, and consolidation of the moral and cultural foundations of the society. These results show that social justice is not only the supreme goal of the legal order, but also an effective tool in achieving security and sustainable social development.
