Analysis of Privacy Violations in Iranian Criminal Policy Models

Privacy is the realm of every person's life that person expects not to be invaded in that area. The criminal response to a privacy breach depends on the value and importance that the criminal policymaker places on privacy. The state’s movement toward security and authoritarianism is a major threat to privacy. Governments cannot violate the privacy of individuals on the pretext of preventing crime and establishing security. Therefore, the criminal policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the field of legislation, judiciary, enforcement, participation, and prevention against crimes committed through the implementation of various policies, and programs to protect privacy, but still faces challenges. Hence the problem of the present article is that; what is the position of the penal policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards crimes committed in private privacy? In this regard, the issue was discussed using the library method. Legislatively, the legislature has not provided the necessary protection, whether criminal or civil. From a judicial point of view, the lack of careful attention of judges and the macro-policies of the judiciary to the concept of privacy has led to the intractable interference of judicial officers in the privacy of individuals. In terms of implementation, the police should be prevented from intractably interfering in the privacy of individuals as executive officers. In terms of the partnership, there is a lack of a special, cohesive, and responsible public institution in the realm of public participation that can organize participation and coordinate with government institutions in the realm of privacy. From a preventive point of view, the government is forced to intervene in some areas of human relations to maintain security and prevent crime.
