The statistical population is the research conducted in the field of crimes and social deviations. The total volume of the samples was 3001, which in addition to showing the importance of the present study can increase the accuracy of the results of the present study. Durkheim's theory of anomie was the most used theory in the reviewed studies. Immigration and peer variables were the most commonly used variables. "Drug use and trafficking" has been studied as a dependent variable more than other crimes and social deviations with four cases in the study. Gender, age and education have been the main variables in explaining crime. Men were more guilty than women and immigrants were more guilty than the natives. The results showed that the findings of the study are consistent with the results of some other studies, but a review of theoretical approaches to crime shows a change in the reading of crime.
