The role of insurance as an important factor in individual and social tranquility is undeniable. Insurance companies provide compensation to people who are affected by the accident and help to create security in people. In this regard, due to the high accident rate in Iran, one of the most popular insurance fields is third party insurance, which accounts for the highest percentage of total damage to the insurance industry. The present research is used survey method. The statistical population in this study was 50 people. The sample group was selected among experts and experts in the insurance industry as well as a number of experts related to the subject of research and their opinion was collected through a questionnaire. After gathering information using a questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis method was used and in the next stage, factor ranking was used. Despite some of the government’s plans and approvals in recent years, these arrangements have not been able to achieve optimal performance and continue to see rising incidents of driving in the country and turning it into a national catastrophe. Obviously, the insurance industry will be one of the major economic institutions that will suffer great losses. Despite the importance of the subject of insurance and its role in traffic safety and the reduction of road accidents and road deaths, comprehensive studies have not been conducted in this regard. Clearly, it is success achieved in this case. The results of the research showed that the participation of insurance companies in effective factors in road traffic accidents has an effect on reducing road accidents, and insurance companies can participate in factors affecting road accidents such as drivers, equipment and new police technologies and road safety improvements, while reducing road fatalities, will increase the efficiency of their participation and performance.

The main aim of the current study is zoning the crime hotspots in Bojnourd city and investigating the role of human and environmental factors on the level of theft crime and each of which factors play most important role in theft crime occurrence. In order to conduct this research we have used a mixed method based on primary and secondary data. Primary data are collected through survey and secondary data are collected based upon data produced and offered by Police and other institutions in the form of occurred crimes addresses and maps. Independent variables were including: distance to police stations, distance to banks, distance to street lights, distance to education centers, distance to parks, distance to shopping centers, distance to parking stations, family income level, and population density. The dependent variable is the level of the theft crimes occurred in Bojnourd and its distribution in 1393. Findings of the study show that the theft crime hotspot in Bojnourd city is the territory of police station 11 due to high density of various land uses this area in spite of its occupation of just 13 percent of study area. The results of the study show that the most important factors to determine the dependent variable variance were distance to banks (-%35), distance to police stations (-%34) and population density (%20) respectfully.

Today traffic problems are as one of the most important problems in various economic and social sectors of a society, and the failure to solve these problems could cause irrecoverable effects in different areas of society. Therefore, three important factors in the individual and community environment are considered as determinants of the impact on traffic hazard. Although the role of the human factor is significant and in a more obvious way, but the environmental and community factors and the manner of individual education can also be found as a significant role. Results of this research show that human factor has most significant role in traffic problems, but this is not the only factor that contributes to the problem. In this research, we have tried to examine the role of other factors as well based on the human factor. The research method is survey and also the study type is cross-sectional and applied. The Sampling is not used in this study and like a census entire statistical society (258) is selected as the observation unit. In order to collect the data a questionnaire set is used. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between self-efficacy of the Rahvar police officers, the strengthening of scientific and cognitive beliefs, the use of direct experiences and socio-emotional and behavioral skills with traffic hazard in North Khorasan.

One of the most important ways to prevent suicidal ideation is to train self-awareness skills and anger control. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of training anger control skill on suicidal thoughts and self-awareness of male addicts. A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 40 patients treated with methadone treatment centers in Bojnourd, who were randomly divided into two groups of experimental and control groups. Our intervention was the implementation of ten weekly 90-minute sessions based on a behavioral approach and emphasized the active learning method of anger control skill. The control group received routine treatment. The Beck’s suicidal thoughts standard questionnaire (1981) and Fengstin’s and Shirobas self-awareness standard questionnaire (1975) were used. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation ...) and covariance analysis using SPSS16 software based on  %95 confidence interval. The variables affecting the two groups (age, education, commencement of drug use, smoking, etc.) were similar. Analysis of covariance showed that after moderating the pre-test mean, there was no significant difference between the performances of the two groups before the intervention, but there was a significant increase in the difference between the two groups after the intervention. The results of this study showed that training anger control skill on suicidal ideation is effective and can lead to changes in the consciousness of addicts. In other words, training anger control skill on reducing suicidal thoughts and increasing self-awareness of male addicts has had a positive and significant effect.

The relationship between neighborhood physical environment and social disorder, particularly crime, is of critical interest to urban economists and sociologists, as well as local governments. Over the past 50 years, various policy interventions to improve physical conditions in distressed neighborhoods have also been heralded for their potential to reduce crime. Urban renewal programs in the mid-20th century and public housing redevelopment in the 1990s both subscribed to the idea that signs of physical disorder invite social disorder. More recently, the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provided funding for local policymakers to rehabilitate or demolish foreclosed and vacant properties, in order to mitigate negative spillovers "including crime" on surrounding neighborhoods. In this paper, we investigate the impact of NSP investments on localized crime patterns in Cleveland, Chicago and Denver. Results suggest that demolition activity in Cleveland decreased burglary and theft, but do not find measurable impacts of property rehabilitation investments although the precision of these estimates are limited by the number of rehabilitation activities.
