Abstract
Based on a critical attitude, and with an emphasis on the importance of research in the sphere of criminal sciences, this article explores the situation of these disciplines, focusing upon the postgraduate education of criminal law and criminology within the high educational system of Iran. By introducing theoretical and applied methods of research in criminal sciences, the article demonstrates that theoretical research method is more prevalent than applied research method in criminal sciences. The author argues that theoretical research method has been predominant not only in the legal areas of these sciences (i.e. the branches of criminal law) but also in their empirical fields of study (e.g. criminology and penology). For the purpose of a proof for this hypothesis, the author enjoys the descriptive-analytical method by documentary research including literature, reports, and statistics. The author discusses about the most significant challenges of research in criminal sciences including the lack of a definite criteria of research methodology in these areas, quantitative growth and qualitative decline of research in these fields and its influence on the policy-making, and finally, the ethics of research in criminal sciences. Consequently, the author provides with some suggestions to overcome the challenges.
