Abstract:
Background and Aim: One of the basic topics studied in medical law is pharmaceutical crimes and violations and surrounding issues and its effects and results. Since medicine has a direct relationship with the health of human beings, it has always been considered as one of the basic and strategic programs of the governments and in terms of the political, economic and social benefits resulting from it, the governments have focused on it. Medicines directly affect the health of people in the society and the lack of organization and legal supervision at the stage of production, distribution, purchase, sale and import may seriously threaten the physical integrity of citizens. Unfortunately, today we clearly see that profit-seeking and self-interested people repeatedly ignore the laws and regulations and endanger the health of the society with unauthorized intervention in pharmaceutical affairs. In this article, we will examine Iran's criminal policy regarding drug crimes and the effects and consequences of laws in the field of prevention and dealing with this criminal phenomenon, both criminal and non-criminal. Is
Method: This article was compiled by descriptive-analytical method and by referring to library sources.
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: The approach of Iran's criminal policy in dealing with drug crimes is a punishment-oriented, punitive approach and lacks a corrective and preventive attitude. The basis of criminal responsibility in Iran's laws is not clear and in addition to the conflict between legal articles, the attitude of the criminal legislator is to develop the scope of criminal responsibility of pharmacists. Iran's judicial criminal policy, instead of trying to fix the disadvantages in criminal policy with its opinions, tries to neutralize the hidden goals in criminal policy with tolerance.
Conclusion: Pharmaceutical laws regarding legal prevention and non-criminal treatment are not sufficient and need to be revised and amended by appointing an authority from among different authorities.
