Abstract :In the context of criminal justice, legislative transformations refer to changes and revisions made to laws and legal processes with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of the legal system and advancing justice while addressing new issues and criminal manifestations. The purpose of this study was to examine the latest legislative changes made to the Jordanian Penal Code and assess how they affect the rights of defendants and the criminal justice system. In order to increase deterrence, guarantee the preservation of individual rights, and improve the effectiveness of judicial processes, the Kingdom has started putting important modifications into effect. It became evident from examining these revisions that they were adopted in response to new developments in the criminal justice system, with an emphasis on striking a balance between the rights of defendants and the interests of society.Notwithstanding their advantages, the modifications have encountered several difficulties, necessitating ongoing discussion and advancement to guarantee an impartial and efficient legal system. In the end, this legislative change is a significant step toward improving criminal justice and boosting trust in Jordan`s judicial system.Keywords : Legislative transformations, criminal justice, judicial system, penal law, justice
