In Islamic teachings, many examples of crime control methods are reflected in the behavior, actions and language of the Infallibles (a.s.), all of which can be categorized under an independent system of thought called the Islamic discourse of crime control. In the present study, an attempt has been made to compare and contrast this discourse and other common discourses in the field of social crime control using Laclau and Mouffe's theory of discourse. The statistical population of the study includes Islamic texts including the holy Quran, Nahj al-Balaghah and various narrations from the Infallibles, as well as historical texts related to law schools, all of which have been selected purposefully. The results of the analysis indicate that since the structure of the Islamic discourse of crime control has been founded upon "monotheism", the Islamic discourse is distinguished from other discourses in defining, demarcating and controlling crimes. The Islamic discourse, with its comprehensive and all-inclusive reflection of the requirements of criminology, is compatible with human spirit and nature and is applicable to all human beings, both in the Islamic system and in other systems.
