The book engages in a process of 'rational reconstruction' of Iranian theocratic criminal law and offers a critical analysis of the way criminal law functions as the centrepiece of this mode of political domination. It illuminates how this revelation-based, punitive ideology functions, how the current Islamic Penal Code (IPC) mirrors prevailing Shiite jurisprudence, and ultimately, from what sort of fundamental defects theocratic criminal law in Iran is suffering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work provides a critical assessment of the criminalization and sentencing theories that have stemmed from the shariatization (Islamization) of all law in the wake of the Islamic Revolution of 1979. By embarking upon a typology of punishment in Shiite Islamic jurisprudence and the Iranian Islamic Penal Code the book then provides a systematic critical analysis of the three types of punishment stipulated in the Iranian Penal Code, namely \u003cem\u003eta'zir\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ehadd\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eqisas\u003c\/em\u003e. It also explores the jurisprudential principles and dynamic power of Shiite Islam not only as a driving force behind political and social change but as a force that has been capable of forging a whole theocratic legal system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bahman Khodadadi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019888835X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198888352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 6.42w x 0.95d","brand":"Bahman Khodadadi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47610977583359,"sku":"9780198888352","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_942e260e-dfed-4d50-ac05-0c730899091b.jpg?v=1764510910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-theocratic-criminal-law-bahman-khodadadi-9780198888352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
