Abstract
Background
Due to the lack of specification of the holy legislator on the rights and duties of the bisexuals and the absence of special legal status and lack of will and classification of criteria for the distinction of these people and, on the other hand, the role of gender in personal, social, and legal life of man, and respecting the rights and duties of each gender, the purpose of this article is to review the rules and legal provisions and the effects of bisexuality in Islamic penal Codes, as well as to review the situation of victimization and delinquency of bisexuals in the society from the criminal sociology view.
Materials and Methods
The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical, which has been written by collecting Information from sources including books, articles, research related to this study, and international conferences and treaties.
Ethical Considerations
Honesty and fidelity in writing the text have been observed.
Findings
In this regard, first the situation of people with sexual identity disorder dealing with official and judicial authorities was investigated, then the issue of ascertaining criminal liability of people with sexual identity disorder and its legal gaps in Iranian law was analyzed, and finally, Iran's criminal policy towards the delinquency of people with sexual identity disorder was reviewed.
Conclusion
Delinquency and victimization of this range has not been the concern of legal and judicial actors. In the case of transsexual delinquency, due to the lack of a clear and transparent legislative criminal policy for these individuals, we also face serious shortcomings at the level of judicial criminal policy, which results in the violation of the basic rights of these individuals if they commit, straggle, or do the crime.
