Abstract:
Background and Aim: Financial crimes have a destructive effect on individuals, companies and governments and traditional methods of control and confrontation have not been able to reduce the increase of these crimes. Therefore, the best approach to deal with financial crimes is from the perspective of prevention, which requires the cooperation of all those who are affected by this widespread and corrosive social problem. Iran's legislative criminal policy does not have a comprehensive definition and prevents economic crimes and in the field of descriptive definition, it can be criticized due to the confusion between the description or the criterion of confrontation with the economic system and the criterion of being macro. Also, the legislator's performance in counting examples, which is due to the legislator's focus on criminal behavior that is currently possible, is associated with shortcomings, which has caused many problems in dealing with these crimes. Among them, one can mention the ambiguity in the examples and their non-comprehensiveness and non-obstacles. In the future, the legislative criminal policy of England shows the importance of the legislator of that country to the criminalization of economic crimes and the separate definition of each one separately.
Method: This research has been written based on the analytical-descriptive method and the tool of collecting and gathering resources with the library method.
Ethical Considerations: Scientific honesty and trustworthiness have been fully respected throughout the current research.
Results: The legislative criminal policy of Iran and England has criminalized cases sporadically without providing a definition and by determining a financial criterion in the amount of the crime.
Conclusion: In the legal system of the two countries, various types of economic crimes, including money laundering, disruption of the country's economic system, smuggling of goods and currency, tax crimes, embezzlement, collusion in government transactions and market manipulation have been criminalized, each of which has different characteristics. However, it seems that economic crimes will not be exclusive to these cases.
