Abstract

Today, the use of criminal law functions by governments to support privatization (government economic liberalization) and private sector activities for economic development has become inevitable. In this descriptive study and using library resources, the nature and characteristics of economic crimes, the relationship between criminal law and economics, the positive involvement of criminal law in privatization and economic development and the negative involvement of criminal law in economic development and privatization were investigated. . Studies show that before privatization, criminal law had broad support for the state economy compared to the private and cooperative sectors. It indicates the lack of use of the capacities of modern criminal law. Therefore, the use of tools and capacities of criminal and extra-criminal law has been the source of valuable effects in preventing balancing the market order, protecting investors, preventing hoarding, decriminalization, impunity and reducing the costs of the criminal justice system. Today, policymakers of the criminal justice system have come to the conclusion that the design and implementation of effective criminal policy is not possible except by calculating all its dimensions and angles. Especially in developed or developing countries, in order to promote economic development, all programs and policies, including criminal and prevention, are evaluated. So that economic plans do not find conflict
