The discussion revolves around the concept of criminal danger and the precautionary measures taken against it during the social defense movement. This discussion has had a difference in opinions regarding the impact of each of them on modern philosophical and penal theories, as we shall see the legislators of Arab and foreign countries did not take the idea of criminal danger clearly and explicitly in their penal laws. Most penal legislation did not establish a precise and clear criterion that can be used to define the meaning and concept of criminal risk. The criterion of "probability", as many of the legislation especially Arabic ones, and specifically the Jordanian did not take this idea clearly in the Penal Code, but only put copies of it. But on the contrary of the law gave the order to assess the state of criminal risk to the administrative governor, and this means that the development of a general concept and comprehensive criminal risk is not easy. It is a flexible and variable idea that varies according to the variables in each society. And we will see many of the jurists when they were exposed to the concept of criminal seriousness, they confuse the concept of social and legal concept, and therefore we found it necessary to study the criminal risk in some Arab legislation compared to foreign legislation and clarify the opinions of lawbreakers about it.
