Abstract
Women with disabilities experience domestic violence in terms of criminology. On the one hand, due to physical or mental disabilities, they are the favorable siblings of criminals determined to be criminals, and on the other hand, this particular situation exposes them to all kinds of domestic violence. Legal systems, especially those who consider themselves adhering to the approaches raised in international documents and conventions related to the protection of the disabled, have tried to consider the right of legitimate differential defense for women with disabilities who suffer from domestic violence in light of some psychological concepts, especially beaten women's syndrome and post-traumatic disorder, so that this group of women, if faced with domestic violence, can benefit from the privileges of legitimate differential defense and, while resorting to legitimate defense against illicit attack, can also benefit from the rights of legitimate differential defense.they're going to take criminal responsibility. The legal system of the United States and the United Kingdom have valuable experience in this regard, which is discussed in this article. However, the Iranian legal system is in great weakness in this regard, and the appeal of disabled women who have committed domestic violence to legitimate defense in Iranian law is possible only on the basis of general and general rules and regulations, and no specific legal or judicial protection of these women has been done in the Iranian legal system.It should be noted that the type of research present is fundamental, its approach, descriptive - analytical, how to do it, Library study and information collection tools in it are also phishing.
