The findings of the research showed that clinical criminology, like a doctor, seeks to reform, treat, and prevent the criminal from repeating crimes by examining them from many angles. Therefore, the dangerous state of the individual must be recognized and subjected to criminological and social measures; in this case, the implementation of punishment or criminological and social measures can eliminate the risk of committing a crime and reduce the cost of crime. This article is descriptive in nature and describes and defines topics such as clinical criminology, criminal policy and the costs resulting from its implementation, and the impact of clinical criminological findings on the commission of crimes in order to determine the path forward. The results of the research showed that clinical criminology, by applying its special models and methods, provides significant assistance to criminal policymakers in preventing the repetition or commission of crimes, reforming offenders, and reintegrating them into society, and ultimately reducing the costs of criminal justice.
