Director Statement

Poverty and social deviations are among the phenomena that many experts consider related. Of course, researches and surveys do not confirm the existence of a direct relationship between poverty and deviance, but confirm the existence of correlation between the two. Based on this, poverty as one of the social issues is effective in the occurrence of deviations and its increase, especially in the field of women's crimes, addiction and theft. In the religious approach, this correlation between poverty and social deviations is confirmed. Accordingly, poverty increases the motivation to turn to deviance; As welfarism is a very strong motive to turn to crime. The relationship between poverty and social deviations is not a new and innovative issue.
