Nowadays, alongside progress and development in various economic and social dimensions, and given the expansion of cities and the reduction of the socialization and acculturation roles of the family and moral and religious values, crimes and social deviations have grown significantly. On this basis, human societies have attempted to control crimes and deviations by creating and strengthening many formal and supervisory institutions and organizations. Given the destructive role of crimes and deviations in the decay of human personality and social disorder, in recent decades, scholars of humanities and social sciences have viewed religion and religious beliefs as an internal monitoring factor and a means for individuals and society to remain immune to deviations, and have addressed its corrective functions. In light of the above discussions, this research examines the relationship between the level of religiosity and the level of tendency towards crime and social deviations. The main objective of this article is to investigate how these two variables are linked and to study the effect of religiosity on crime prevention. This research is a survey study, and the questionnaire technique combined with interviews was used to collect the research data. The statistical population of this study includes all citizens (of working age) of Kashan County in 2010, from which 421 people were selected and examined as the sample size using the Cochran formula. The reliability and validity of the measurement scales for the research variables were examined through Cronbach's alpha coefficient; according to the results of the Cronbach test, the reliability of the religiosity scale was confirmed with (α=0.82) and the tendency towards crime scale with (α=0.78). The research findings confirm the relationship between the two aforementioned variables. The Spearman correlation coefficient results (rs=-0.353) at a 99% confidence level confirm the significant relationship between the two variables. The type of relationship is negative, indicating that with an increase in the level of religiosity, we witness a decrease in the level of tendency towards crime. Furthermore, the regression equation results indicate that the greatest impact in reducing the tendency towards crime comes from the factors of practicing religious laws and ethics.

A Reflection on the Relationship between Religiosity and Tendency towards Crime and Social Deviance Case Study: Citizens of Kashan in the year 1389 1 1 Mohsen Niazi Associate Professor, Department of Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kashan 2 Majid Khademi Master in Criminal Law and Criminology, Islamic Azad University, Naraq Abstract Nowadays, alongside progress and development in various economic and social dimensions, and considering the expansion of cities and the reduction of the roles of socialization and acculturation of the family and moral and religious values, crimes and social deviances have grown significantly.
Given the destructive role of crimes and deviances in the decay of human personality and social disorder, in recent decades, social science and human science scholars have viewed religion and religious beliefs as a factor for internal supervision and protecting individuals and society from deviance, and have addressed its corrective functions.
Considering the consequences and destructive effects of the tendency toward crime and social deviations in the destruction of personality and social disorder, and the fundamental role of religion in individual reform, internal control of individuals, and the reduction of crimes and social deviations, in this article, the relationship between the level of religiosity and the extent of tendency toward crime and social deviations has been investigated.
Similarly, religiosity 2 consists of the sum of relatively stable and positive cognitions, feelings, and inclinations toward religion that exist in an individual in normal, natural, social, and psychological states, and manifest in their actions toward the attractive force (God), self, society, and history.
