A Criticue of the Restorative Criminal Justice in the Western Approach to Criminology, Concerning the Quran-Based Criminal law

The restorative criminal justice theory is a challenging area of interdisciplinary studies between traditional criminal jurisprudence and scientific modernism in criminal law. The guidelines of western criminal policy in interaction with crimes are provisional and there is an apparent shift of centralization from retributive justice to rehabilitative justice and then to intimidative justice and now to restorative justice. Western approach to restorative justice is a response to critical situations such as augmentation of the population of prisons and social protest against domination of retributive view in judicial and gendarme systems. On the other hand، Islamic approach to restorative justice is based on some moral virtues as encouragement of hiding the crimes، amnesty، arbitration and repentance. These differences make an advantage in favor of Islamic point of view. We will try to study the lenient institutions of criminal jurisprudence on the basis of revelation and through this and find a way to escape the numerous challenges of western approach to restorative justice.
