A review of criminal law clearly reveals that in Iran's legal system, there is no particular logic of penalization, and in these laws, many inappropriate penalties exist in terms of type, degree and inefficiency in achieving the goals. Cliché and irregular punishments not only result in failure to meet the goals of punishment, but leads to undesirable and adverse effects on the perpetrator.
