Abstract

Most recently concepts such as criminal management have become popular in our country's criminal justice system. This term refers to methods that make the criminal justice system more efficient and useful and make it accountable to the public by making optimal use of material and human resources. Among the solutions and results of using this system is the prevalence of quantitative politics in the judiciary as well as the phenomenon of criminal populism. On the other hand, according to statistics, the number of prisoners in the country in 1396 was 289,377, of which only about 33,032 people were sentenced to alternative imprisonment; Therefore, in the criminal justice policy of the country, only 8/5 of imprisonment sentences have been applied with alternatives to imprisonment, most of which are limited to alternative fines to imprisonment, and other alternatives to imprisonment have remained almost neglected.
The main question raised is that what are the challenges and opportunities raised in the context of criminal managementism in the desire of the country's judicial criminal policy for alternative punishments of imprisonment? Therefore, in this research, using the descriptive-analytical method and data collection by examining library sources as well as judicial procedure, these cases have been investigated and analyzed, and the results of the research include:
Determining the effects of penal managementism on the criminal justice policy of the country in the area of using alternative punishments of imprisonment, as well as explaining the challenges and dealing with the opportunities to overcome the existing challenges in this regard.
