The freewill of offender in the crime, although often is considered as an important part in establishing criminal responsibility, but the concept that it will usually is ambiguous and mixed with ambiguity So sometimes instead of the will have been used intent,consent and the like and This position in the general theory of crime and criminal responsibility has been challenged. In this article we have tried using legal sources and standards, while explaining the concept of the meaning of "freedom of choice", is distinguished it from other similar concepts and Unlike most concepts, the role of freewill and the decline in the wavering elements of crime be examined. The nature of freewill is an important issue that has received less attention in legal publications. Although the debate about the freewill and its role in human responsibility is as old as human life and to have multiple dimensions, in various sciences, including philosophy, theology, psychology, ethics and law is discussed.

Committing physical behavior is a prerequisite in realization of criminal liability in criminal law. So that nowadays the criminal thought is not a punishable crime in any legal systems of world. Therefore, the criminal responsibility will be created when a man passing by his criminal thought actually do a behavior that the legislator has prohibited it. Nevertheless, it can not be inferred from this rule that committing a physical behavior is a sufficient condition for the realization of criminal liability. Although the former is essential for the later, but it is not enough and it is necessary that this behavior is done with a free will. Accordingly, when offender has no will in doing that behavior, no criminal liability will be fulfilled. This sentence will include simultaneously the strict liability crimes and the crimes needing a mental element. But the important point here should be regarded is detecting that whether the accused had committed the act voluntarily or not. In this article, we have tried ,with a philosophical analysis, to determine the necessary components of voluntary behavior in order to be recognized the involuntary one. It is important to distinguish involuntary behaviors just because it will make the offfender unpunished.
