Abstract

This article, in a descriptive-analytical method, reveals some roots &effects of epistemic distortion in the way of contributing to the most important forces of Iran's criminal policy - Sharia, modernism &community-oriented (Sharia, West, custom). Recognizes &devises tips to prevent falling into the trap of legal positivism &irrational &anti-socialist textualism. Neither the policies &interests governing the criminal jurisprudence of Islam can be called the exact same system of Islamic criminal policy, nor the French &Anglo-Saxon &continental European models of state-comprehensive criminal response can be found in verses &hadiths. Subject to this. The "ideal of deprivation of world experience" &the era of universal theories &the greatness of poetry but inefficient in reducing the difficulties of human life - including the difficulty of crime - have passed. A systemic interaction must be established between the text (jurisprudence, Western legal doctrine, or any sacred or customary scientific text) &reality. This will be the beginning of planning the Iranian Islamic model of criminal policy.
