Abstract

This article, using a descriptive-analytical method, tries to introduce the criminology of peacemaking and evaluates the aspect of its application in criminal policy. Peacemaking criminologists consider the cause of crime to be the suffering that contemporary man experiences which the only way to end this suffering is to settle peace in the human mind. This approach emphasizes that violence does not lead to peace and considering the rejection of efficiency, conflicts with necessity of adopting peaceful means. As a result, by introducing justice as pacifist, it proposes a set of transformations in the context of pacifist criminology that is not limited to accountability and responsibility for the criminal phenomenon and considers effective counter-crime to be dependent on the establishment of a peaceful criminal policy and the elimination of violence from all aspects of criminal policy. The results of this study show that although the teachings of peacemaking criminology in the field of criminal policy and even the criminal justice system have been explained few and ideal, but this approach, in the light of its connection with the scope of peace discourse and in the context of futurism, In the context of criminal policy, it is peaceful. But this approach, in order to relate to the breadth of peace dialogue and in the context of future researching, has the potential to develop in the context of peacemaking criminal policy.
