Background The existence of moral challenges resulting from political, social and economic crises is an inevitable issue of any society and government. Challenges are not urgent, they gradually turn into crises, and can ultimately pose a serious threat to the sovereignty. The Qajar government was in such a situation, especially after the Constitutional Revolution. Political crises and its intertwining with social crises caused moral challenges in this period, which had a great impact on the downfall of the Qajars. In fact, the main issue of this article is to find a suitable answer to the question: "What role and place did the post-constitutional political crises play in overthrowing the Qajar dynasty? " And what moral challenges did these crises create in this period? And how did these challenges manifest themselves? Conclusion The results of the study indicate that the concentration of moral challenges, political crises and the emergence of other social crises arising from these crises in Iran, the Constitutional Revolution and the inability of the government to compete with powerful social organizations to provide strategies. More efficient survival for social change led to the tendency of social forces to concentrate power and provided the conditions for the fall of the Qajar dynasty and the creation of a powerful and maximum government to resolve crises.

Background Despite the irreplaceable role of cyberspace in the behaviors of modern society and the importance of observing ethics in it, so far no research has been presented to build a model of practical ethics in this space. The present study examines how ethical laws are enacted in cyberspace. Conclusion By descriptive analysis of the concept of ethics in cyberspace, the perception is that ethics in modern space has four characteristics of self-control, universality, equality and unity. The realm of ethics in cyberspace is a world without borders. The principles of the supremacy of local law should not be taken into account and require new laws. For this reason, articles 3 of the Iranian electronic commerce law, 3 of the model electronic commerce law and 5 of the electronic communications convention are the basis for interpreting the law in cyberspace. This study indicates that the current laws governing cyberspace for some reason. Ethics are far removed from the laws of traditional law. Therefore, new structures are needed to legislate for cyberspace. In a way that enhances our understanding of the realities governing the legal functioning of the computer and obscures the silent, ambiguous, and conflicting aspects of modern law with traditional law.

Background With the idea of victim protection emerging and the emergence of supportive victimology in the twentieth century, the forgotten position of the victim in the criminal process has been restored and its findings expressed in the form of universal standards for victim protection.

The Iranian legislator also in the Criminal Procedure Code of 2013, defining the word "victim" and addressing rights such as the right to be recognized and to be given the right to be victimized have the right to be informed, have immediate and easy access to the criminal justice system; , The right to confidentiality of investigations, compensation of victims, the right to legal aid and assistance and special representation to the victims, the equality of rights of the accused with the equality of arms, the right to medical and psychological protection, the rights of the victim at the stage. Appeal, in line with ethics, has shifted its course toward the moral rights system. And since this orbital ethics in the Iranian penal system has not had such a long history, there is much room for reflection and research. Conclusion The comparative studies in this article show that the aforementioned rights are in accordance with the rights found in the Statute and Rules of Procedure of the International Criminal Court. Therefore, the Code of Criminal Procedure adopted in 2013, despite its theoretical objections and possible problems in Acting, it has sought to have a uniform and ethical view of the rights of the accused and the offender in relation to the former rules of the Iranian judiciary. To this end, it has made assurances that this realization will be possible in the real world. On the one hand, by providing general and general safeguards, it seeks to support the parties to the criminal complaint and on the other hand it provides them with appropriate safeguards appropriate to the status of each party.

Background The legislative review of the criminal record on the crime of repetition and the severity of the punishment for repeated offenders indicates that the legislator firstly used various laws to include repetition of crime, and in some cases such as drug offenses and for criminal reasons. It has taken into account a certain degree of exacerbation that is markedly different from what is stated in the rules on repeat offenses in Islamic Penal Code. To this end, this article aims to investigate the causes of non-alignment of judicial and legal criminal policy in drug related crimes. Conclusion The most important causes of non-compliance with judicial and legal criminal policy in drug-related crimes can be some of the most unethical and unjust cases, such as imposing severe penalties, especially in the context of the death penalty, inappropriate crime, lack of independence of the judge. Legislative justification for non-compliance with the principles of fair punishment, effectiveness of the judiciary from public opinion, and weaknesses in the means indicated that removing any of these factors can pose significant problems in drug criminal policy. Which eliminates the conflict of legislative criminal policy with judicial criminal policy and thus It has established the state and if it does not take care of these causes, the fight against crime will be disrupted and it will go further than the ethical and justified path it pursues.
