The method of determining punishment for perpetrator of various crimes has always been the subject of theoretical discussions and legislative developments. In the latest developments resulting from The Law on Reducing the Imprisonment, passed on May 12, 2020, the Iranian legislatore has issued different rules on distinguishing between "different" crimes and non-different crimes in the case of material multiplicity of crimes, but refuses to set criteria for separating these two categories of crimes. This has led to a divergence of views and procedures in this regard. In this article, four criteria for identifying different crimes have been explained and criticized by descriptive-analytical method. Unification of criminal title, unification of legal element, unification of constituent elements of crime, unification of constituent elements and punishment. Finally, according to the advantages and disadvantages of each of these interpretations, the criterion of unification of the constituent elements and punishment in order to comply with the principles of criminal law and narrow interpretation of criminal texts, more than other interpretations, is considered a legislator and as an autonomous view, has been introduced.

Law on reducing the punishment of Taziri imprisonment was enacted in May 12, 2020. This law has made important amendments to the body of Iranian criminal law. It could be addressed in two aspects: theoretical and practical. The second one- legislator's mean to reducing the criminal population- should be considered in a result-based process after a reasonable period of time from its implementation. In theoretical view however these reforms can be the basis of more fundamental researches. The study of the recent enacted law shows an important change of criminal concepts that we call it Privatization of Criminal Law. Examples of this flow can be enumerated as follows: first, increasing the number of forgivable crimes. Second, The obvious effect of complainant's action on the nature of crimes. Third The possible effect of the complainant's action on the disappearing of the legal element of the crime. Fifth, complainant's role in determining the jurisdiction and limits of the authority of the reviewing authority. In this study, using the analytical method, the change in the attitude of the criminal legislator has been investigated. The findings of the study prove that the boundaries of criminal law are eroded and the concept of complainant is closer to the plaintiff and consequently the complaint to the petition, which occurred as a result of changing the legislator's position to the victim's place in criminal law.
