The theory of criminal dangerousness and its penal effects in comparative legislation

Abstract

Through this study we aim to highlight of The theory of criminal  dangerousness  in criminal policy and its penal effects in comparative legislation, which was the subject of great interest by criminologists in recent times, after the behaviour of the crime, the subject of interest and the various theories in the criminal law, became the subject person of the act in contravention of the law that leads to the crime of this concern instead of the crime and then looking from the perspective of caring for the future rather than taking care of what has become a memory of the past, all this paved the way for the emergence of a new standard in criminal law which is the theory of criminal dangerousness, which is concerned with caring for criminals who threaten the security and safety of society and focuses on protecting society and the establishment of a realistic concept of social defence.

Consequently, to what extent did the theory of criminal severity contribute to shaping contemporary criminal policy and what are its penal effects§ which we will try to clarify within the folds of the topic by following both the descriptive and analytical method.
