The aim of this study was to identify the causes of suicide and homicide in the Qajar period. This study has been done by content analysis method (quantitative and qualitative). The text under analysis was "police reports on the situation in Tehran during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar." The findings of this study showed that suicide in the Qajar era is a pervasive phenomenon. In all cases (except one), the means of suicide among men and women was "opium eating." In the Qajar era, women "attempted suicide" more than men, but the rate of "suicides leading to death" was higher in men than women. On the other hand, "economic poverty" was the most important cause of men's suicide. Nearly half of all male suicides were due to economic poverty, but the most important cause of female suicide was the experience of "domestic violence." No woman has committed suicide due to economic problems. Most women commit suicide in their husbands' homes after a conflict with their husbands. According to police reports, no man had attempted to kill his wife, but in several cases, women attempted to kill their husbands. Women usually committed suicide after repeated experiences of domestic violence, but sometimes tried to kill their husbands in revenge.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the relationship between self-esteem and its related factors among individuals with physical-motor disabilities. The method used in this research is a comparative survey. The statistical population of the present study was 1600 people with physical-motor disabilities in the city of Yazd 2018. According to the Cochran formula, a sample of 310 individuals were obtained. A group of 155 people with physical-motor disabilities without higher education and 155 university graduates with physical-motor disabilities were studied under the auspices of the Yazd Welfare Organization. The data collection tools were the Rosenberg self-efficacy scale, SF-36 quality of life by the World Health Organization, and Sherer et al.’s (1982) self-efficacy. The mean self-esteem for all the participants was 36.30, which is more than average. The results of this research generally showed that university-graduates have more self-esteem than those without university education. There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-esteem. Therefore, according to the results of this study, it is necessary for social institutions and social workers to modify the attitudes of societies toward empowerment through education, cultural activities, effective media plans and appropriate social programs.

In Lorestan province, one of the phenomena that endangers the health and development of children is child marriage. According to evidence, about twenty percent of girls in this province are married at a childhood age, which is a remarkable rate. Child marriage is common while many other countries have outlawed it because of its harms. The question is why this phenomenon still remains despite the changes that the society has experienced. In this research, the answer to the above question is sought by using grounded theory. The study population is all women who have experience of marriage in childhood in Lorestan province. Forty cases from five cities of the province were interviewed using the purposeful sampling method. The findings show that legal legitimacy, traditions, disruption in the family, the norm of chastity and dropping out of school are the main causes of these marriages. Community residents arrange these marriages by applying pressure and families by forcing their daughters. Child marriage is not only a violation of children's rights, but also endangers the health of mothers and their babies. As a result of the child marriage of these women, their rights in the field of education, choosing a husband and a safe life with relative welfare have been jeopardized. Their set of strategies in the face of this phenomenon and its events consists of confronting each other, surrendering, Request for support and leaving the relationship, all of which are ineffective except for Request for support.

Social Alienation and Tendency Toward Risky Behavior: A Case Study of the City of Mashhad Zakieh Nateghi[1] , Seyed Alireza Afshani[2] Abstract Regarding the increase in the incidence of risky behavior among young people, the present study has investigated the impact of social alienation as a risk factor in the tendency toward risky behavior in the City of Mashhad. In this research, Agnew’s General Strain Theory, Sutherland’s theory of Differential Association, Hirschi and Gottfredson’s Social Control Theory, and Seeman’s Social Alienation Theory were used as the theoretical framework. This study was conducted as a cross-sectional survey. A total sample size of 384 individuals from Mashhad were interviewed in the present analysis. Respondents were selected using the cluster random sampling method. The instrument used was a questionnaire. In this regard, reliability and validity of the scale were assessed through Cronbach’s alpha and content validity. The findings showed that risky behavior among boys was higher than girls, but there was no significant difference between social alienation of boys and girls. There was no significant relationship between age and risky behavior and social alienation. The mean of risky behavior among single participants in terms of tendency to alcohol, tendency towards violence, tendency to sexual behavior and risk-driving tendency was higher than that of married participants, and the average amount of social alienation in dimensions of social isolation and self-denial of single participants was higher than that of the married participants. The results showed that social alienation and its dimensions have a direct and significant effect on risky behavior and its dimensions.

Abstract
Social network types are a composite describing the interpersonal milieu and can be used for examination of the health and well-being of the population. This study tries to identify different types of social network used by retired elderly individuals and to compare their health when using the different identified network types. This study used a survey method. The SF-12 questionnaire (a shortened form of the SF-36 questionnaire) and a checklist of structural and interactional characteristics were used for gathering data. Collected through convenient sampling, the study sample consisted of 230 retired elderly individuals, aged over 60 who were members of the Civic Retiree Center and Educational Retiree Center of Karaj. The K-means cluster analysis was used for derivation of social network types and a One-Way ANNOVA was adopted for comparing health among the groups. Four types of social networks were identified among older adults: diverse, family-focused, kin-focused and friend-focused. Respondents who belonged to diverse network had the highest health (physical and mental) scores and those with a more family-focused network had the lowest health score. Comparisons showed that the elderly individuals embedded in diverse and kin-focused networks had significantly higher health scores than those with a more family-focused network. Considering the importance of the individual in the environment perspective in social work, social network typology can give social workers a good assessment framework for understanding the health status of retired adults.

The aim of this study was to investigate the dysfunctions of supportive policies in women heads of households under the auspices of two support institutions of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee and the Welfare Organization. In this research, using the concept of social exclusion, the sociological study of the research problem has been studied. The research method is grounded theory and 36 in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with two groups of respondents, including clients and experts. After the triple typology of social exclusion and the corresponding types of dependence, a central phenomenon based on research findings called "passive dependence" has been constructed. The main causes of this phenomenon are known in four categories: "chronic rejection", "dependent socialization of women", "support system" and "stereotyping of female-headed households". The contextual conditions are categorized as "politicization of protections" and "increasing conditions of female-headed households". The terms of the interventionist are also constructed under the categories of "mismanagement" and "failure of law". The consequences of this phenomenon are also formulated in two categories: "continuous demand" and "employment avoidance". In this study, clients who have experienced chronic and intermediate rejection have a high capacity for passive dependence on support - as the main dysfunction of protectionist policies - and it is appropriate to adopt supportive policies for chronic outcasts commensurate with the status of rejection. They should take measures to prevent and control dependence on supports and deposition in the support system for these people.

Lived Experiences of Female Victims of Child Marriage Seyedeh Zahra Eftekharzadeh[1] Received: 23/1/2015 Accepted: 27/10/2015 Abstract Child marriage is defined as marriage before reaching the age of 18. The present study aimed at studying the lived experiences of women who had been victims of child marriage in earlier stages of their lives. The data was collected through focused interviews with 12 women in Tehran. The twelve women, married in their childhood, were selected through the snowball method. Their experiences were collected through semi-structured interviews, rewritten and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. After the compilation of the interviews, twelve content points were extracted. The results showed that early marriage can be a positive factor in the incidence of domestic violence and dropping out of school. From the perspective of the marital relationship, child marriage can be one of the instances of sexual abuse of children. The majority of the victims are also mothers under the age of 18. Early marriage often leads to exploitation of women, including domestic work, rural work or employment outside the home. Poverty and economic factors, cultural factors and fear of disgrace have been the most important factors in the incidences of early marriage in the sample. Content extraction revealed that women face many problems in child marriage incidences. It seems that economic and cultural growth can act as a deterrent, but are not sufficient and it requires changes in attitudes, processes, culture and the law. Key Words: Early marriage, Child marriage, Lived experience, Qualitative Study experimental group during seven, two-hour sessions. Finally, the post-test was applied on both groups and subsequently in a three-month follow-up test was performed and the achieved outcome was analyzed, using covariance. Results showed that the average point in the experimental group increased and the rate of relapse in the experiment group decreased comparing with the control group. In conlclusion, solution-focusedbrief therapy for improving resiliency and decreasing relapse to addiction has a suitable capability.

Although, the police are the main responsible for the prevention of drugs and psychotropic substance, due to the complexity and prevalence of this phenomenon, efforts are being made to use the capacities of the society like the youth to prevent this social pathology. This survey has investigated the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs and psychotropic substance and to examine its relationship with responsibility, police performance, awareness from the drugs consequences, problem solving skill, and some demographic variables. Population is the youth aged 18 to 30 in Yasouj, Gachsaran, and Dehdasht, that 332 cases were selected using the multi-stage random sampling method. Research instruments for measuring the participation in the prevention of the drugs, responsibility, police performance, and awareness from the drugs consequences are the researcher-made questionnaires, that their validity and reliability were assessed using the content validity and the Cronbach’s coefficient respectively. Furthermore, to measure the problem solving skill, the questionnaire prepared by D’Zurilla et al (2002) was employed. The descriptive findings showed that, the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs and psychotropic substance is on average and in particular, in the formal dimension (interaction & cooperation with police) is low. In addition, the analytical findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between police performance, awareness from the drugs consequences, problem solving skill, and the residency in Gachsaran, and the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs. The above-mentioned variables explain .206 of the variance of the dependent variable.

Phenomenology of Criminal Grounds in Women Zahra Mirhosseini[1] Received: 8/10/2017 Accepted: 30/12/2017 Abstract The purpose of this research study is to identify and understand risk factors in female offenders’ lives. This research is based on the phenomenological method. For this purpose, in-depth qualitative interviews have been conducted with 24 women with criminal sentences and imprisonment records. The results show that most of the women interviewed had experienced various forms of violence and harassment during their lives, and were often found either homeless or were from inefficient and disrupted families whose parents or first-degree relatives had a history of convictions and imprisonment or drug addiction. Also, some of these women had used drugs when they committed the crimes. In addition to the above, the socioeconomic status of women, type of occupation, family disorders, the lifestyle of women, are among the risk factors that are effective in the context of life for female offenders. However, the results of this study are not generalized in any way because of the small sample size. Keywords: Female Offenders, Crime, Prison, Phenomenology [1].

Abstract In the recent decades, some villages of Iran have had a feminine texture, the reason for this is immigration of men. Immigration of men from rural areas to metropolises mainly increased by virtue of various economic factors such as unemployment in villages, low income, seasonal unemployment and small size of farmlands. In this regard, the role of social policy making has been highlighted in order to create jobs and support key manufacturers in rural areas. In this research, we explored the role of women in two villages (Ghale Ghafe Bala and Kafsh Mahalle) located in the Golestan Region. These women succeeded in creating green jobs in their villages and eventually achieved sustainable livelihood after an empowerment process and improving human capabilities, recognizing geographical and environmental resources, and application of indigenous knowledge. In this study, we adopted the approach of Amartia Sen in human capabilities in order to solve the poverty and unemployment issue in the villages. The research methodology is case study, involving exploiting participant observation and in-depth interview techniques. The research results indicated that rural women could change the villages by grouping, increasing social participation, improving their capabilities, increasing agency capacity change and creating small and local community banks among rural groups. They could achieve sustainable livelihood and play an important part decreasing unemployment and poverty.

Abstract
The study of human actions and their unintended consequences have been one of the fundamental concepts in social sciences research. The importance of studying the unintended consequences of an action is not solely due to the positive or negative consequences of the intentions of the actors of action, but the production of other sequential results that go beyond the predictive value of the actors. The use of land mines in the war is a result of targeted action among hostile forces, which results in unpredictable personal and social consequences that are widespread and unpredictable. The problems caused by negative consequences of this phenomenon are caused by various social institutions and costing enormous costs to the community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the unintended social consequences of landmines in the province of Kurdistan as one of the most polluted provinces of the country. The theoretical foundations of this research are rooted in the studies of Merton and Giddens. This is a mixed methods stud and the population of the study consisted of all civilians who have been exposed to some kind of mine injury in Kurdistan. Part of the data has been obtained through the documentation of the Janbazan Foundation, the Red Crescent and other resources, and part has been gathered through interviewing the individuals exposed to landmines. The results of the research showed that the use of anti-personnel landmines and their unintended consequences, not only take many lives but are also a source of migration, divorce and insecurity, and have caused serious damage to the environment, agriculture and
tourism. All the damage caused by this phenomenon is still unknown and is expanding in terms of time, place and scopes. The results of the use of landmines and a serious response to this need require extensive and continuous cooperation between the civilians, the Government and international institutions to prevent the production, storage and use of anti-personnel landmines.

The present research seeks to examine the pathology of the organize of the earthquake occurred in Sarpul-e-Zahab city with emphasis on people's participation in the process of helping the injured people in the first week following the incident. Semi-standard interview followed by theoretical saturation was exploited for data collection. The statistical population comprised of the native aid workers of Sarpul Zahab in the first week of aid provision to the injured, and the participants were selected through theoretical-purposive sampling. To analyze the findings, the interviews were first analyzed based on the content analysis, then were coded, and finally the findings were semantically reconstructed in the form of 11 major categories. According to the findings, it is concluded that, in the case of happening such events, it is necessary for aid workers, injured persons and official institutions, regarding knowledge, skill and information, to be socially mobilized in order to find a common understanding of the actions and interactions essential during and after the earthquake. The role of NGOs and women in such events should also be taken into account.

the current research aimed to study the effectiveness of social group work based on solution-focused in secondary school female students. This study an experimental design applied through pre-test and post-test on two groups (control and intervention) with one-month follow-up. The statistical population of study was included all high school female students’ school who were studying in the 2018-2019 academic years. Thirty individuals whose resilience scores were lower than the average value and were eligible for this study were randomly divided into two groups: fifteen persons in control and fifteen persons in intervention group. The intervention group received a social group work based on solution-focused that consisted of eight sessions. During this period, control group did not receive any intervention. After finishing sessions, resilience questionnaire from Connor and Davidson was applied to both groups. after a month, a follow-up test was carried on both groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference between intervention and control groups regarding resilience and its dimensions. The scores were increased in intervention group after intervention and in follow-up. social group work based on solution-focused could be an effective intervention in working with students.
