Criminal Law Developments in the Muslim-Majority Countries in the Light of Interaction between Shari’a and Law

In response to a complex of internal and international factors, the judicial and legal structures of Muslim majority countries have changed drastically in the recent decades.

Against this background, this project aims to make a strong contribution to the debate on criminal law reform in the context of public demand for Islamic justice.
