Abstract
Legislation as one of the most important categories of criminal law is a process that does not only lead to the birth of a new text of the law by members of parliament; Rather, reducing the volume of laws in necessary cases should be considered as one of the functions of the legislative system. This is especially important in the field of criminal law; Because for various reasons, we have witnessed an increase in the volume of criminal law and as a result the restriction of fundamental rights and public freedoms of individuals. A closer look at the phenomenon of government in the present age can show the ideological influence of this institution, which in its most common form has a religious or political form. The inclusion of acts or behaviors within the scope of criminal law also depends on the ideological attitude of the government towards the criminal phenomenon; Because the regulation of society requires the use of coercive force whose constituent forces are entrenched within the state. Minimalist states, which have also characterized criminality as such, have been influenced by important theoretical foundations such as liberalism, libertarianism, and republican theory in the enactment of criminal law. Defending these ideas to get out of trouble goes back to the consequentialist and result-oriented approach in North America and Europe; Therefore, the defense of the mentioned principles in the mentioned countries has been presented as an efficient and effective model. Due to the challenges posed by the many crimes.
