چکیده:
In this article, we have cast a theoretical look at poverty from a criminological perspective and explored its impact on delinquency. There is no doubt that reducing the number of crimes in any society depends on recognizing the factors effective in the emergence of crimes related to that society and finding the correct solution to fight corruption factors and uproot them. Without recognizing these factors, it is impossible to design and implement an appropriate program for social rehabilitation. It is never possible to achieve a relationship of complete causality between a social factor and crime, and perhaps no social phenomenon is criminal in itself; rather, the conjunction of several factors and also the weakness of internal and external control systems leads to the commission of a crime by a person. Therefore, we have examined poverty only as a factor that can lead to crime if other factors are realized, as we believe that accumulated wealth, the process of wealth valuation, consumerism, and the lack of an appropriate consumption pattern can also be considered a threatening and dangerous flow for society.

The Impact of Poverty on Delinquency from a Criminological Perspective Now, we will first examine some of the views regarding the social effects of crime, and then we will investigate the positive or negative correlation between the two phenomena of poverty and crime: 1- The Theory of the Socialist School: Theorists of this school placed ultimate importance on the economic situation; they believed that the root of all crimes should be sought in poverty or, more accurately, in the disordered state of the capitalist economy.
This school suggests that to reduce crime, it is better to eliminate the causes of crime through transformation in the economic and social situation of society instead of punishing criminals; as Enrico Ferri said: "For the defense against delinquency and the elevation of the moral level of the people, the smallest progress in the means and measures to prevent crimes is worth a thousand times more than the codification of a penal code.
" (2) Mr. Stefani (Stefani), in justifying the crime-causing impact of wealth and economic prosperity, says: "This era is no less dangerous for public order than an economic crisis, because it leads to the development of luxury and the production of new necessities; and since all classes of society do not benefit equally from economic prosperity, and satisfying the sense of luxury and meeting new necessities for everyone is not possible through legitimate means, a group, especially young people, inevitably resorts to illegitimate means and commits crimes.
