Feasibility of Islamic Readings of Criminology Versus Scientific Criminology

Abstract

Today, it can be argued that most thinkers agree on the principle that the humanities are relative and can theorize from different levels of analysis and intellectual coefficients on it, while analyzing human and social affairs. One of the complete analytical levels that can provide comprehensive theories about man according to its origin is ideological and religious approaches in the field of social humanities and criminology. In this article, with an analytical descriptive look and using the documentary and library method, we seek the answer to this question: in the third millennium, do the teachings of scientific and modern criminology recognize a tendency called religious criminology? The answer could seem to be positive looking at the teachings of the religions of Christianity and Judaism, we come to the streaks of criminology of religious origin. With such a hypothesis, the research findings guide us in this direction, which can be claimed in the general Islamic criminology, some of the commands (in the book and tradition) have criminological readings that can be fruitful at least in order to prevent criminalized sins and be a good complement to scientific criminology. Therefore, taking this assumption into account, there is Islamic criminology (like the criminology of Christianity and the criminology of Judaism), and one of the most endorsed trends in the field of scientific that criminology can be called in its own right.
