Abstract
It is our right to keep various aspects of life hidden from others, and both the Shari'a and the law forbid spying on the work of others; But sometimes secrecy is not only not protected, but it is also a crime and punishable. Secrecy is not a crime in itself, but sometimes because we secretly endanger public order and security, the legislature has criminalized some forms of secrecy. The purpose of this study is to investigate Iran's criminal policy towards crimes based on secrecy with emphasis on the elimination or concealment of evidence and evidence of a crime. The method of compiling this research is descriptive-analytical. Findings indicate that the current and conventional criminal approach, given the growth and development of technology and the possibility of using it to conceal these crimes, is not comprehensive and sufficient and the criminal justice system in the process of detecting, prosecuting, and punishing perpetrators Crimes born of secrecy face hardship; Therefore, careful identification and investigation of such crimes is necessary due to the multiplicity of crimes and the difficulty of discovering, investigating and evaluating the evidence. Therefore, in the absence of such a policy, the legislature does not react to these major crimes, and the law needs to be amended in this regard, which can only be discovered and investigated through scrutiny and transparency in the constituent elements. It will be possible to punish these crimes.
