Criminological analysis of personality files from theory to practiceWith the approach of preventing recidivism and correcting the offender (Case study of Ahvaz city)

The personality file in Iran was officially used in the Criminal Procedure Code and the Islamic Penal Code since 1392, and to emphasize its use in 1398, the Judiciary Department issued instructions for the formation of the personality file. Despite all the efforts of the legislator to use this new institution and the emphasis on the need to file a case study field, it shows that there is a gap between theory and practice, and we face challenges in localizing that criminal justice system.

The present study was based on the design and preparation of a questionnaire and the data of the questionnaire were analyzed based on SPSS software and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.

The legislature has tried to include the achievements of modern criminology, including the principle of separation, in the criminal law in formal laws (Islamic criminal procedure and Islamic punishment and instructions for filing a personality file) and also according to the field findings of forming a personality file. It has had a great impact on preventing recidivism and correcting and treating criminals.

The legislator has paid some attention to the case of personality, which is one of the modern teachings of criminology, in making laws. But instead of ordering the filing of a personality file against some of the defendants, it would have been better to generalize this institution to all crimes and order the filing of a personality file,
