University of Guilan (with the participation of the Iranian Association of Penal Law) Criminal Law Research 2322-2328 7 1 2016 03 20 The Status of Plurality of Result in the Iranian Criminal Law The Status of Plurality of Result in the Iranian Criminal Law 101 122 1754 FA Ahmad Hajidehabadi Amir Bagerzadegan Mohammad Mirzaei Journal Article 2016 07 11 Plurality of crime <em>inter alia</em> is a general aggravated factor of the punishment, which divided into two material (committing several independent criminal behaviors) and constructive (committing one behavior with varied criminal titles) types. Additionally, the issue of plurality of result (committing one behavior with one or more criminal titles, albeit with varied results) is raised. Although, plurality of result can be called as an independent factor to aggravate punishment, along with material or constructive plurality, but many authors do not believe in the independence of this institution and consider it as a subset of constructive plurality. After years of legal gap, the Islamic Penal Code 1392 has addressed plurality of result and considered it as a subset of material plurality. Obviously, given that the amount of aggravation in material plurality is more than constructive plurality, it is highly important to elucidate the basics of the lawmaker’s approach, along with analyzing and describing of the institution itself; it is what the present paper attempts to address.
