Abstract:
Background and Aim: Psychological pressure in committing criminal acts and in punitive reactions towards delinquent children and teenagers, who themselves are silent victims of unstable living conditions, poses a significant challenge that requires deep reflection and urgency in addressing it, given the current social situation. This matter needs a novel interdisciplinary study, which this article aims to do, to achieve equal and vast judicial justice.
Method: This article employs a descriptive-analytical approach and gathers data through library research, relying on the opinions of relevant experts and scholars. The results are presented in the form of diagrams. Therefore, this research has been conducted using a combined method, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative (Likert scale) research foundations.
Ethical Considerations: Throughout the process of writing this research, ethical considerations of library research, including authenticity, text integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness, have been observed.
Results: One of the most significant findings of this study is presenting the "fundamental role of psychological pressure factors in most delinquent actions of children and teenagers, who violate criminal laws". This was achieved through a systematic analysis of the factors that contribute to psychological pressure, the analysis of reactions, and the explanation of coping strategies using qualitative research. According to 82% of legal experts and specialists, "psychological pressure on children and teenagers has a more significant impact on their involvement in criminal activities than their bad upbringing".
Conclusion: The need to consider the extensive dimensions of psychological pressure on children and teenagers, who violate criminal laws, in the commission of criminal acts, demands the adoption of preventive measures that are appropriate to the current time and place in Iran’s criminal policy. Furthermore, the aspect of psychological pressure in certain legal punitive reactions towards children and teenagers, who violate criminal laws, and the inadequacy of their correction and upbringing within the framework of Islamic educational principles and international documents, in some cases show a significant distance between the current situation and the desired state.
