Abstract
One of the cases of “plurality of crimes” is where from one behavior, emanate many criminal results. This hypothesis which is named by plurality of consequences was, for the first time, adopted in the Islamic Criminal Act 1392 .previously the judicial precedent considered the mentioned assumption as the “unreal plurality of crime”, while the present legislation identifies the subject as “ real plurality of crime”. Most Islamic Jurists believe if some different criminal consequences emanate from a given action, there is a punishment for any consequence.
At the time being, as the subject is new, there are many questions on it including: what is meant by criminal consequences, what is the difference between plurality of consequences and similar cases like topical plurality of crime and plurality of victims?
The results of this study shows that there are some differences between the plurality of criminal consequences and topical plurality of crimes including in plurality of consequences, the consequence is considered from “material” point of view, while in topical plurality of crime, the consequence is considered legally.
