Abstract
In democratic policymaking, the demands of citizens in Criminal Normalization are taken into
consideration. The legitimacy of criminal measures is achieved through the identification of citizens and
the protection of their freedoms. In a democratic system, citizens have the most democratic participation in
the Criminal process. In this research, this question is answered in a descriptive-analytical way through
library information in the light of the three principles of representation, citizenship rights, and limitation of
power. What is the position of citizens' demands for a fair criminal policy that is maximally acceptable and
to what extent should the will of the general public be taken into account? The result of the present study
is that the principles of democracy in any society, in terms of the degree to which it is conceptualized, affect
the type and manner of criminal policies. Democracy by providing citizens' satisfaction and providing
democratic participation while influencing criminalization can provide the basis for a fair criminal response
in society. Paying attention to the will of citizens in democratic policy-making causes criminal responses
to be redefined in the light of the concepts of civil rights, and criminalization and Sentencing to be carried
out following the culture and civilization of society. the findings in this study are positive this fact, That
the coercive result of establishing the concepts of democracy in societies is not necessarily the establishment
of humane criminal responses, and in some cases, policymakers deviate from democratic concepts to
establish strict responses
