Abstract:
Background and Aim: The most important legal basis for finding the approach of any criminal justice system to the phenomenon of crime detection can be seen in its formal legislative criminal policy. Of course, apart from the Code of Criminal Procedure as a general rule, in some special laws, there are provisions to determine the process of criminal investigation, the sum of which can be considered the formal criminal policy of the penal system in relation to the criminal investigation process. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the need to respect human rights and citizenship rights of individuals in the process of crime detection, such as the right to a lawyer, the right to remain silent and the prohibition of arbitrary detention.Method: The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical and library.Findings and Results: In order to carry out the crime detection process efficiently, it is necessary to observe various human rights considerations such as the right of silence of the accused, having a lawyer and the prohibition of arbitrary detention by judicial officers.

Machine summary:
Furthermore, important issues such as the use of entrapment-based methods, adopting approaches leading to torture, and also the violation of the civil rights of individuals, still exist before the efficient and human rights-oriented implementation of the crime detection process in the criminal procedure policy of Iran; therefore, adopting strategies at different legislative and judicial levels in order to respond fundamentally to them seems important.
