The crime of forgery in the law of registration of documents and property and evaluation of the approach of Iran's legislative criminal policy towards it

Criminalization is one of the tools and mechanisms of criminal policy in any country in dealing with crime and social deviations. In the case of crimes that have many instances in society, such as the crime of forgery, if criminalization is not done based on appropriate, reasonable, logical and sound policies, not only will it not have the desired consequences, but it will cause many social problems.

This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles.

Iran's legislative crime policy does not have a uniform process and suffers from a kind of disorder, deviation and lack of coherence, which is the biggest and at the same time the most important criticism that can be made about this issue in Iran.

 In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.

Overall, the evaluation of the existing legislative policy in this area shows that there is no coherent discipline in the criminalization of forgery and the goals and values of the legislature are not clear. In addition, there are ambiguities in the legislative criminal policy approach to forgery.
