The interaction between Iranian criminal policy makers and Bar lawyers' associations

The process of criminal policy-making, which leads to the development of crime prevention policies with action and reaction-oriented approaches, is based on a series of principles in order to provide grounds for effective and competent policy development in the light of them. The participation of social institutions in the mentioned process is one of the most prominent of these principles. in Iranian legal system use of the aforementioned institution's power in this field faces many challenges. The lack of appropriate norms for the necessity of using the lawyers' association, the lack of belief in the ability of the lawyers' associations to be specialized, the identification of the strategy of nationalization of the legal profession, the lack of activity of the lawyers' associations in the process of criminal policy making, the lack of dynamic structures in the association and lack of faith in government institutions to use the capacity of lawyers' associations are one of them, In order to make proper use of the participation and power of this institution in the criminal policy making process, the norms should be predicted for the use of the capacity of legal lawyers' centers in the criminal policy making process. It took steps to make attorneys' centers in criminal policy-making institutions, to set up a criminal policy commission in attorneys' centers, to convince government institutions to use the capacity of community institutions in criminal policy-making, and to guarantee the principle of independence of attorneys' centers.
