The present study is a qualitative and phenomenological research. Accordingly, in the present study, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 women who had a history of conviction and imprisonment. Samples are purposefully selected. All interviewees are selected from those who have served at least 3 and at most 5 years in prison. The analysis of the interviews showed that the women interviewed during their lives with various factors such as: incoherence and disintegration of the family, living in the family of the offender and criminal, cooperation with the spouses of the offender, disordered family, lack of jobs and income Lack of expertise and education, living in crime-prone areas, addiction and drug use, associating with bad people and other such factors have been faced that have provided the necessary grounds for women to commit crimes. In addition, studies have shown that abuse, drug use, family turmoil, parenting practices, childhood violence and abuse, etc. in the family can be effective in creating the context for crime in women.

The present paper investigates factors contributing to committing crimes among prisoners'. To fulfill the aims of the research, survey and documentary methods were used. From a methodological perspective, the present paper is ascribed to the causal co-relational category. Target population of the research includes prisoners of Markazi province prisons (sample size: 264). According to the results of regression analysis, the following l O variables have impact on prisoners' social deviance: " the level of perverseness in family (0.29), sense of belonging to family (-0.28), unsuitable social environment (0.26), low age at first entrance into jail (0.25), religious commitment (-0.18), unemployment (0.17), peer groups (0.10), life satisfaction (-0.10), emotional needs fulfillment in family (-0.10) and sense of deprivation (0.09) with specified regression coefficients. As the coefficients show, variables of "sense of belonging to family, religious commitment, emotional needs fulfillment, and life satisfaction" have a decreasing effect on social deviation and the rest of the variables (which have positive coefficients) have an increasing effect on social deviance. In sum, in order to have a safe society one should pay attention to different factors, among which are decreasing the level of deviance and increasing the sense of security among citizens. Different contexts of development (social, political, cultural and economic) are required for a safe society. Therefore there is no doubt in the necessity of recognition and decreasing the pathologies and the need for establishing a safe society .
