Abstract

This article explores the evolution of criminal law books in Iran, spanning from the dawn of modern legislation to the present day. The primary question concerns how historical, cultural, and social contexts have influenced the development of legal thought within criminal law literature, aiming to provide a comprehensive and analytical overview of the progression of works in this field. To this end, discourse analysis and contextual hermeneutics are meticulously employed, with a focus on examining these texts across the pre- and post-revolutionary periods, while also identifying specific factors that have shaped contemporary criminal law thought and approaches. The study’s findings reveal that, despite differences arising from shifting political and social conditions, the distinctive perspectives of various authors, and the unique interpretations embedded in these works, the overarching structure and themes within these texts have remained fundamentally unchanged across both periods, allowing the tradition of their composition to endure and extend to the present day.
