Heading a Criminal Gang and Aggravation of Punishment
Dr. Mansour Rahmdel
Faculty Member, Faculty of Law, Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, Tehran, Iran
Abstract:
Leading a criminal gang is one of the personalized factors of aggravation of the punishment. It means that the legislator aggravates the punishment of the some perpetrators which have such a personalized factor. Note 2 of the article 130 of the Iranian Islamic Penal Code refers to the examples of leading a gang, without defining leading a gang. According to it Leadership is defined as forming, or planning, or organizing or directing a criminal gang. So it seems that a criminal gang could have more than one leader. For example, one of them forms, the other one plans, and the third one organizes and the fourth one directs the criminal gang. Typically, planning is prior to other forms of leadership. It seems that a leader orders others and they obey his orders. It is noteworthy that the committed crime by the members of the gang should be in line to the gang aims, otherwise it could not be regarded as a crime committed by the gang. The current paper is going to answer the following questions: what is the substance of leading a gang? Aiding and abetting or accomplishment? Is it necessary for the leader to participate in material element (actus reus) of the crime? How the punishment determined for members influences the punishment of the leader? What does an organized criminal gang mean? The method of research is an analytical one.
Keywords: Leading a Gang, Aiding and Abetting, Accomplishment, Organized Criminal Gang.
“Invention” of the Custom or Only a “Transformation” in the Way of Recognition? (Resort to Uncertain Custom in International Criminal Law)
Dr. Alireza Bagheri Abyaneh

Abstract:
The traditional way for recognizing of international customary law by an international court was based on finding out two factors: “the state practice” as well as opinio juris. Nowadays this traditional way is changed by international courts and these courts do not consider “state practice” as a main factor for recognition of international customary international law. Jurists opponent to this approach mention that using this way is illegal and can be regarded as “inventing customary international law by a court” and therefore is beyond the delineation of the judges duties. On the other hand, the advocators express this approach as an evolution in international law so that a court can find out an international customary law without paying too much attention to “state practices”.
in international criminal law, using of the traditional way for recognizing the international customary law does not take place, especially in some tribunals such as ICTY because of security council resolutions.
in addition, some international criminal tribunals have also diminished their resort to “state practice” for recognizing international customary law by considering “martens clause”, “human rights” and even decisions of political bodies of international organizations instead of using state practice. This approach has been used in second generation of international criminal tribunals for many times.
Keywords: International Customary Law, State Practice, Invention of Customary Law, Transformation.

Abstract:
The new penology teachings classify offenders to punish based on criteria such as crime risk and community security. The purpose of applying such teachings is management of the cost-effectiveness in enforcing legal penalties that impose a dual policy of strict and alternative punishment. The present study conducted on Adolescent Juvenile Delinquency, based on the legal and judicial data of Iran and The United States of America. The obtained results indicate that the criminal justice system of Iran has been functionalize by using the cost-benefit management model as an innovative measure of the new penology teachings in order to eliminate punitive and delinquent labeling of juvenile offenders. However, the US criminal system seems to be leading in strict monitoring of the behavior of juvenile offenders after committing crimes and simultaneously enforcing judicial measures. Our studies have shown that juvenile delinquency attributed to the threatened and colored people by virtue of the rule of retributivism and labeling, as well as the privatization of criminal justice in US has resulted in the use of de-deductible privileges from new penology has been largely deprive of justice. Our final study showed that the purpose of the Iranian criminal justice system in applying the teachings of new penology is classifying the perpetrators with a view to avoiding the maximum financial and social costs of imprisonment, as well as the reform and socialization of adolescents. The transformation, along with inherent functionalism, faces challenging aspects such as Penal populism and security-oriented in the interpretation of risk criteria.

Abstract:
Compulsory disappearance is a Continuous and Combined crime against humanity that undermines individual freedoms and deprives the victim of the right to legal protection; mostly these deprivations ultimately lead to the killing or physical and psychological harassment of individuals. Over time, we have seen many examples of this crime, which has often been committed by political, religious or racial issues. Given the depth of the damage done to the victim of this crime, the human rights organization and institutions have made it, in addition to paying attention to the rights of the victims of this crime, in its documents and treaties, ways to deal with it and return them at least the rights of the victimized group. The importance of the crime of forced disappearance, perpetration of this crime is also a matter of concern for every ordinary person, therefore, in this research, we tried to emphasize the descriptive-analytical method and the use of library resources while expressing the concept of the disappearance of the rights of the victims of the crime.

Abstract:
Serious and bold presence of right realist criminology thoughts undoubtedly cannot be denied in the field of penal thought. Today’s in many western countries, these thoughts have given life again to punitive penal policy as an efficient model, through induction of inefficient of preventive policies and penal populism. The paper makes effort to review and retest foundations and those defaults stemmed from the approach and considers as obvious in the light of criminology and penal thoughts, through library tools prepared. The results show this claim by right realist criminology with more realistic perspective towards causes of crimes and deviations takes advantage of those concepts and propositions which are clearly observable in previous studies of penal schools of thoughts and criminology. The necessity of this study, in addition to the existing poverty of the realistic criminology literature, emanated from the role and functions of this approach in the life, evolution and dynamics of criminal thought. The main question is what are the main areas and effects of the trend towards realistic criminology and its revitalization?
According to the research findings, right realist criminology is rooted in many factors, from among which reference could be made to a set of political, economic, and Criminological factors playing fundamental role in formation and continuations of programs and goals followed by the theory.
