Summary
"To understand the political structure and stability in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the nature of the Islamic judicial system in the country must be analysed. This book undertakes this responsibility, and is the first comprehensive study of a structurally deep-rooted corruption in the Islamic judiciary system. The findings of the research carried out shows that corruption in the judiciary is widespread in breadth and depth. This corruption has infiltrated every sector of the Islamic regime to the point where it impacts even the day-to-day routine of the lives of the Iranian people. Without a doubt, the influence of the Supreme Leader on the judiciary is the most prominent factor in the formation of judicial corruption and the epidemical spread of this corruption to other parts of the government. The judicial corruption has calamitous consequences on Iranian society and has endangered the society's security in the long run. It has infringed on human rights, caused a dwindling economy, devalued the rule of law, and delayed social progress in the country. This book will be of interest to students of legal studies, political science, Islamic studies, sociology, or religious studies. The book also provides precious insight for journalists, civil service employees, decision-makers, and all of those who are interested to discover the reason for brutality in the Islamic judiciary. The book also provides useful information for the learned societies and research centres that are concentrated on Iranian studies, criminology, good governance, rule of law, and criminal justice systems"-- Provided by publisher.
