By examining the literature on family crimes, a significant research gap can be identified in the precise analysis of the complexities and psychological factors hidden behind them - factors that have prevented a full understanding of this social issue and hindered an effective response. Despite recognizing certain relationships between specific psychological conditions and criminal behaviors, the lack of analytical studies to understand the deeper roots hidden within these crimes has challenged prevention and intervention programs. Therefore, research must focus specifically on this gap and, by examining the psychological factors at both individual and interpersonal levels more closely, provide more integrated solutions for developing executable strategies in combating family crimes.

The aim of this study is to delve deeply into the psychological factors behind family crimes and to develop effective strategies for prevention.

The present study was a narrative review. Searches were conducted using keywords such as family crimes, domestic violence, and patterns of misconduct across specialized databases including Medline, SID, Magiran, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. A total of 52 articles were retrieved and after reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, ultimately 16 studies that had a direct connection with the subject were examined.

The findings of the current research, which were obtained through a thorough review and analysis of published studies in the field of family crimes, indicate that numerous psychological factors play a role in the occurrence of these crimes. These factors include childhood psychological trauma, personality and behavioral disorders, depression and anxiety, alcohol and substance abuse, socio-economic pressures and stress, limited conflict resolution skills, and the impact of traditional gender expectations and power issues.

Many instances of family crimes are not rooted in external factors but rather in the depth of individuals’ psychological complexities and the patterns of interaction within families. Understanding these factors can be highly effective in designing preventive and therapeutic programs that contribute to better organization of family relationships and reduce the harm caused by such crimes. A deeper understanding of these issues allows social workers, psychologists, and judicial authorities to take far more effective actions in supporting victims and rehabilitating the perpetrators of these crimes.
