The subject of electronic criminal trial is the execution of proceedings from the discovery of a crime to the execution of a sentence if the accused commits a crime or the issuance of an acquittal through electronic and telecommunication systems. The goals of this type of trial are to speed up the proceedings in terms of its quality, to reduce the economic costs of the proceedings and the enforcement of sentences, and to achieve social distance in the event of an outbreak of the coronavirus to protect human lives.The issue of the present article is how to integrate the standards of fair trial in relation to the duties and powers of the interrogator during electronic investigations, while maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of individuals. The research method is descriptive-analytical using library resources and specialized websites.Findings of the paper in response to the challenges of this trial, such as violating the rights of the litigants through electronic notification, violation of the defendant's right to defense during interrogation and issuance of bail, indicate the possibility of interrogator actions through electronic and telecommunications systems in integrating litigation investigations are privacy and in accordance with due process. However, the parties face challenges during interrogation in terms of lack of provision and reform of electronic court infrastructure to ensure security and secure registration of data to maintain confidentiality and investigation by the interrogator and his supervision of judicial officers in police stations and offices of judicial services and lack of preparation of electronic signature. The Judiciary Statistics and Information Technology Center, with the help of the private sector, is responsible for ensuring the security of the electronic environment.

With the enactment of the Islamic Penal Code (May 1, 2013), a number of community-based punishments entered the Iranian legal literature under the title of alternatives to imprisonment. In this regard, the study of possible challenges in the application of new criminal institutions is one of the important topics in criminal science, which will indicate the effectiveness of these institutions The authors of the article by focusing on the experience of key actors in issuing and enforcing community service orders, have attempted to identify such challenges at the judicial level through (first) a focus group was formed with the presence of 12 judges and (in the next step) interviews with 13 judges who have had experience in this area. The data gathered from the focus group and interviews indicate multiples judicial challenges in application of community service orders, which can be following into two main categories: "current and continuing punishment criteria inconsistent with the nature of community-based punishments (imprisonment- orientation and statistic-orientation)" and "lack of attention to enforcement infrastructures of community-based punishments. Based on the collected data and by analyzing the above findings, it can be argued that the existence of such challenges has been a subordinate of the wrong approach of criminal policymakers in relation to community-based punishments. This means that the legislature has been enacting policies on community service orders merely for reducing the prison population; And so, have been abandoned the preconditions for the main purpose of this punishment, which is the rehabilitation / reintegration of the convicts.

Community service order is considered as the most prominent example of community-based punishments, entered in 2013 into the Iranian Legal and judicial literature. Therefore, it was expected legislator by a set of comprehensive statutes that are far from multiple challenges, created a context for effectiveness of this new institution in line with achieving its main aim of reforming and reintegrating the perpetrator. Thus, the main question of the present article will be whether the set of statutes and rules and in accordance with the targets intended for community service order, so that it leads to the greater effectiveness of this concept? In this regard, the authors at first studied 150 related judicial decisions and identified the judges issuing them (purposive sampling) as the main actors in this study and the gathered the data afterwards by conducting semi-structured in-depth interviews gathered its data. The data indicated that there are legal challenges at the sentencing stage and subsequently after conviction. The research findings also show that Iran's macro-judicial policies related to community service order (reducing the punishment of Community Service Order as an alternative to imprisonment and considering it as a means to reduce prison population) were not commensurate with the inherent goals of this community-based punishment. And finally, it has paved the way for many challenges. This disproportionate targeting can be categorized into the following two classifications: “Failure to identify actors in proportion to the nature of the punishment”, “Failure to identify situations appropriate to the nature of the punishment”.

By enacting the Islamic Panel code (act 2013) the Iranian legislator emphasized on the adoption of alternative community-based responses to children crime and this is known as a special attitude. This community punishment available in article 88, 89, 90 and 94 of the code, clearly shows this new attitude. The community punishment order (CPO) was first introduced as the community service order under the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1972 and it is now regulated within the Powers of the Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000. The community punishment and rehabilitation order (CPRO) were introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 1991 and is now regulated within the Powers of the Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 and is, in essence, the engagement between the community punishment order (CPO) and the community rehabilitation order (CRO). However, that legislative approach in the form of criminal policy reform social circuit judges to apply the most promising approaches based on care and correct response, but this approach has several challenges faced judicial proceedings. Effective implementation of these responses can be as effective.

Electronic trial means basing criminal proceedings upon electronic devices, logging, processing and exchanging information, which is a new phenomenon accompanied by computerizing of the works. It is supposed that this process plays an important role in modernizing criminal proceedings and making it more fair and economic. In relation to the laws, electronic trial is a vague title on the ninth chapter of the Criminal Procedure Act, and is completely different from proceedings in computer crimes. There is partial overlap between these two, because electronic trial is about to use electronic instruments to try all crimes, but in trial of computer crimes, the purpose is to prove these type of crimes, using all possible ways, modern or traditional (non-electronic). Although, because trial of computer crimes is one type of differential proceedings, and this has been considered important in the Criminal Procedure Act, the differentiating factor is the use of computer in trial of computer crime. In other words, as the perpetrator uses computer to commit the crime, she will be tried by using the capabilities provided by computer. By doing so, trial of computer crimes will be a part of the electronic trial and their relationship will be a complete overlap.

In criminal law, entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent induces a person to commit a criminal offense that the person would have otherwise been unlikely to commit. It is a type of conduct that is generally frowned upon, and thus in many jurisdictions is a possible defense against criminal liability. Depending on the law in the jurisdiction, the prosecution may be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped or the defendant may be required to prove that they were entrapped as an affirmative defense. The entrapment defense in the United States has evolved mainly through case law. Two competing tests exist for determining whether entrapment has taken place, known as the "subjective" and "objective" tests. The "subjective" test looks at the defendant's state of mind; entrapment can be claimed if the defendant had no "predisposition" to commit the crime. The "objective" test looks instead at the government's conduct; entrapment occurs when the actions of government officers would usually have caused a normally law-abiding person to commit a crime.
