Economic boom as well as removing barriers to progress and sovereignty of each country depends on the protection of the productive and correct economic activities without which other developments may be overshadowed by economic weakness and the political and social status of a government may be shaken in today's world. Naturally, one of the very important factors in economic development is soliciting funds of investment traders and investors in order to support the manufacturing and jobs. In fact, the more the amount of investment in the country is, the more the amount of production and employment as well as the industrial and scientific development will be. However, increased investment also depends on investors' confidence and unwavering support of them against imminent harm of others. Hence, motivation for investment and economic activities among businessmen and economic activists inside and outside the country will be increased and the hopes for economic growth will improve. Obviously, this requires different policies in all areas including the legal and judicial area. In the legal realm, it must be ensured that the investors' rights are preserved against competitors and those who seek to violate professional rules and all those who enter in economic activities have enough confidence that the norm-breakers in this area will be prosecuted. This can be achieved by criminalization of some behaviors in the field of economic activities. This paper has used an analytical-critical method to study the foundations of criminalization in the field of economic activities. We have also tried to analyze the procedure and punishment for perpetrators of economic crimes.
