Female criminality is a crucial social issue that requires examination and analysis from a macro perspective. Therefore, within the context of the criminal policy-making system, various factors directly and indirectly impact the prevention of female criminality. In this study, the purpose is to investigate Iran's criminal policy-making system in the field of preventing female crimes.

This study is applied research with an analytical-descriptive approach. Data were collected and analyzed using library resources and by examining upstream documents.

The findings indicate several challenges in Iran's criminal policy-making system regarding the prevention of female criminality. These challenges include a lack of policy-making knowledge, the adoption of a stringent approach, the diversity and heterogeneity of institutions, documents, and policies, the lagging behind of the criminal policy-making system compared to social developments, and lack of collecting statistics and measuring the rate of social harms and female criminality . To strengthen the prevention of female criminality, the following strategies are suggested: promoting a supportive discourse and adopting the welfare state's supportive model, empowering women socially and economically, implementing a multilayered social security system, establishing and equipping drop-in centers, implementing specific and targeted prevention measures, drafting supportive documents and social appendices for policies, preparing an atlas on the status of women and families by province, conducting policy evaluations, and updating policies based on a results-based management model.

The results highlight the necessity of reforming the structural factors of female criminality through a social investment approach by the government in order to address the challenges faced by the criminal policy-making system in the field of preventing female criminality.

The present study was a quantitative method that was conducted on the staff of Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch of Tehran.Women in the study population have a high level (34.66%) of using social networks. The total correlation and severity of the relationship between the variable of using virtual social networks and the components of empowerment in women was 0.677 and was confirmed at a significance level of 0.05, which indicates a significant relationship. There is a strong link between the use of virtual social networks by women and their empowerment. The use of social networks also improves their empowerment by increasing women's knowledge, reducing their isolation and increasing social participation. The value of correlation coefficient (R) between the variables was 0.797, which indicates a strong relationship between independent and dependent variables. Overall, the research findings indicate that social networks are one of the most effective methods in empowering women in the present age and its effects on creating social change in women can be proven.

According to the research findings, women's social development requires the provision of theoretical and practical infrastructures for their justice-oriented development and "sustainable empowerment", meaning that women's empowerment is both uninterrupted and continuous and takes place in all dimensions. These are: 1) physical empowerment, 2) psychological empowerment, 3) economic empowerment, 4) social empowerment, 5) political empowerment, 6) cultural empowerment, and 7) legal empowerment.

The level of psychological empowerment of married women in East Azerbaijan province is higher than the average (75.15%). Based on the results of path analysis, the direct, indirect, and total effects of economic, social, cultural, and psychological capital structures on women's empowerment were significant and could explain 66% of the variance of the dependent variable (women empowerment).

This study is an attempt to understand social networking capabilities in the empowering of Iranian women. To fulfill such purpose, we conducted a deep interview with 14 case samples, including women, gender scholars, and communication experts. We tried to identify both the status quo and the potential capacities of social networks that can lead to empowering Iranian women. Some research findings indicate that social networks, which carry some intrinsic capabilities such as networking and exchange of information, bring about some significant results for women empowerment. For example, it can increase chances for self-employment, or promote audacity in their self-statements; it can increase sharing of knowledge and skills, or increase gender self-consciousness and demanding spirit, women's reflexivity on their identity. Nevertheless, the government seems to have neglected to apply appropriate policies for the efficiency of social networking capabilities. This factor has joined with the resistance against social networks. As a result, one can witness a lack of tendency to apply the real capacities of social networks. Such underutilization of social networks has rather provoked superficial functions of these networks.

Agency is multifunctional instruments include the growth of three areas of economic conditions and other decisions about the family, especially men, the freedom of movement in public spaces and the expression of individual views about the equality of roles towards men. Despite broad assumptions about the empowerment and empowerment of women in Iran, sociological research is limited to these structures. The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to the agency of women in the community with emphasis on the city of Kermanshah. This study was conducted by survey method and a researcher-made questionnaire on 400 married women in Kermanshah. In order to estimate the reliability of the research tool, Cronbach's alpha, and for the validity of face validity, also used for analyzing the data, the means of comparison tests and correlation coefficients were used. To test the experimental model, multiple regression was used. The results show that variables such as age (r = 0.26), self-esteem (r = 0.177), mass media use (0.33) = r), place of birth (f = 512.5), attitude toward childbirth (r = -0.25), and relative deprivation (R = -0.19) has a significant effect on women's agency. It should be noted that women's empowerment can lead to empowerment, the amount of power, and the choice of a suitable lifestyle and increase the cultural capital of women in society.

Improving the educational level can be considered by researchers and policymakers due to the impacts have on the employment and income opportunities. In recent decades, given the rapid growth of women's higher education and the entry of more educated people into the labor market, it has been expected to reduce inequality and poverty through women's employment throughout the country. According to 2016 census, rural areas with about 27% of GDP only 2.13% of the women with higher education in the country. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between higher education with jobs and income. For this purpose, a sample of 19381 households is used to collect data on “labour force” surveys in different years and the “cost-effective” rural households of 2015. According to the results of the logistic model, although female-headed households have a lower chance of being employed than male-headed households, The chances are higher if they have a college education. Thus, by gaining jobs and reducing inequality, they will have a positive effect on the growth of GDP in the countryside and the whole country. Due to the clear link between high education and employment, with the qualitative expansion and development of knowledge-based economies in universities and research institutes, the reduction of inequality and poverty as well as the growth of production at the regional level will not be unexpected.
