Criminal Policy: An Examination of Some Concepts and Variables

Criminal policy plays a crucial role in combating criminal phenomena and exploring effective methods of prevention. It works by creating conditions to prevent criminal acts and by addressing offenders, aiming to reintegrate them into society. Whether achieving this goal or failing to do so is a measure of the success of the criminal policy implemented in a given society. Based on this methodological framework, this study aims to achieve a scientific understanding of the role of criminal policy in combating criminal phenomena, in order to benefit from it in both practical and academic fields. This study concluded that there is an interactive relationship between the criminal policy in place and crime itself, as well as between crime and the state's public policy. Respect for the legal and value system by individuals is ensured through the activation of the social and legal frameworks and the policy organizing society.
