چکیده

This study was examined to investigate the impact of environmental poverty on the criminal behavior of young people in marginal areas. The population of this study included all the youths in the marginalized schools of Isfahan. Sampling was done randomly. The sample size includes 358 students in marginalized areas. For youth with high PC, significant factors included high levels of attitudes toward agreements and conditions, motivation of treatment, perseverance, and bonding to school/work, as well as low levels of risk in peer relations and education/employment. For youth with limited PC, buffering factors with the strongest effects include self-control and future orientation in school or work. Implications of practice and future research were discussed too.
