Considering the close relationship between social policy making and political field, it’s attempted to analyze forming of social policies related to social harms during the revolution as a turning point in political developments with a view to Foucault's theory of governance. In order to objectify the methodological steps, thematic analyses were used. Also in order to answer the research questions, the required data were used as non-reactive criteria and theoretical sampling method was used to select the samples. According to the prevailing social and political conditions, a revolutionary discourse that elaborates on the synchronization of moments of guilt / crime / harm, the dominance of the legal approach and judicial intervention, moral cleansing, protectionist policy-making and coping with disability. It made sense to dominate the sphere of social harm policy-making at the beginning of the revolution. In the discourse of this period, the social dimension of social harm policy-making in favor of the legal dimension was less considered. But the point to consider during the hegemony of policies was their social acceptance. It is necessary to pay serious attention to the issue of social acceptance, because social acceptance of any policy guarantees the success of that policy.

Gambling is one of the activities that has long been a means of human entertainment and has more or less appeared in all cultures. In general, gambling theories can be divided into two categories. One theory tries to understand the gambling process and the other is to see gambling as a social harm and tries to identify issues related to it. This article analyzes the issue of gambling and its related social harms. The method research is qualitative (ethnography) and data were collected by interview technique. The participants included all gamblers in Harandi neighborhood in Tehran 12th district. The sample size was 30 people. Findings show that in terms of typology, gambling in Harandi neighborhood can be divided into two categories: street gambling and organized gambling. In addition, according to research findings, gambling is associated with issues such as addiction, drug trafficking, violence, family breakdown, job loss, theft, social exclusion and homelessness. Therefore, gambling should not be considered as a single social harm, but should be considered a social issue, the consequences of which are not only at the individual and family level, but also at the local social level.
