In responding to criminal phenomena, the criminal policy takes principles and
methods by which its general prospects would be revealed. Nowadays, we face
with increasing rate of crimes which violate security and welfare of the citizens
leading to change criminal policy’s strategy from offender-based towards crimebased
in order to provide the security in a way that fundamental principles of
criminalization, criminal liability, and sentencing are changed and bears a
differential interpretations. Supposing the offenders as an enemy, it creates a
hostile-oriented criminal law and due to the globalization of crimes and gross
violation of national and international security, it seeks uttermost security.
Stressing on extreme slogans of providing security for citizens, it seems that
criminal policy has encountered a kind of crisis in the context of humanitarian
law and failed to achieve its goals. Whether the security-oriented criminal policy
can reach the goals in spite of the existence of serious challenges or not is a
matter of concern in this article.
