Abstract
The study examines the issue of compensation for personal loss in quasi-crimes and its examples in Iranian criminal laws. The main goal of this study is to analyze how to determine and compensate for damages caused by quasi-crimes, which, in addition to public effects, also affect the private interests of individuals. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library documents and comparative studies, examines the legal principles related to compensation for damages, including the principle of compensatory damages, civil liability and quasi-crimes, and how to implement these principles in the Iranian legal system. The research findings show that the Iranian legal system faces challenges in compensation for quasi-crimes, including the lack of comprehensive laws, the length of the judicial process, and the weakness in covering moral and non-material damages. Comparative comparison with more advanced legal systems such as England shows that approaches such as developing clearer regulations, increasing flexibility in compensation methods, and strengthening the role of judges and experts can help improve justice and efficiency. Ultimately, reforming existing laws and legislative policies, especially in the area of ​​compensation for moral and non-material damages, can lead to the creation of an efficient and fair legal system in which the rights of individuals are properly recognized and protected and the creation of inequality and injustice is prevented.
