Abstract
In society, we see the slogan that (addicts are not criminals, but patients) is scientifically correct, but from the point of view of criminal law, addicts are a disease that is also criminals at the same time, and if this disease is treated, the number of criminals and the titles of criminals produced by them will also decrease. Based on scientific research, addiction treatment alone is not enough and requires simultaneous social and supportive interventions to prevent the return to addiction and crime. So this precedent can explain the context, the necessity and the importance of the present search. In this research, we are looking for a descriptive, analytical, yet comparative approach (with an empirical basis) using a documented and library method to properly understand the behaviorology and causes of the occurrence and emergence of criminal behavioral approaches in drug addicts, which guides us to this point in terms of Science, the minutes of reactions are identifiable. So getting a relative understanding of the current situation leads our research results in this direction, which has been proven in scientific studies that individual-centered knowledge of the individual behavior of addicts can be effective in quitting their addiction, and secondly, the expansion of group behavioral studies of addicts can help to identify the harms and spread environmental preventions to policy makers.
