Analysis of the Discourse of punishment in the Pahlavi Era

The Pahlavi era is the era of the establishment of criminal modernism.The Pahlavi government in this period accepted the validity of the Shari'a rulings to a minimum, but what is evident is that the government, after consolidating the foundations of its power, removed the validity of the Shari'a rulings from the text of the criminal law. The discourse of "criminal modernism" in this era, by rejecting the discourse axes of "sharia punishment", seeks to strengthen its foothold in the context of the developments of punishment in this period. The introduction of modern philosophical teachings and criminal law, the impact of new achievements in criminology and the legal system of France and the role of the "royal punishment" discourse in establishing the power and foundations of the Pahlavi government can be the most important factors influencing the evolution of punishment.The questions raised about the punishments of this age are, firstly, what discourses have been present in the context of the developments of punishment in this age, and secondly, what have been the effective factors and the role of these factors in the power of these discourses.The main issue of the research is to explain the role and effect of the present discourses in the context of the developments of punishment in the Pahlavi era.
