One of the major concepts associated with the incidence of crime and deviate, is anomie and anomic conditions. Classical and contemporary sociologists see the anomic conditions as potential conditions for the occurrence of the anomaly deviate. Such circumstances could be the result of different factors. The present research aims to study the anomie and deviate in Semnan city.

An overview on research literature shows that addiction is considered as one of the most important factors threatening social welfare and security which increases crime and risky (dangerous) behaviors and disturbs social security. Accordingly, the present research aims to examine the role of anger control training in making adolescence resistant against addiction. The research sample included 30 high school students who were selected using cluster sampling method. Then, the students were randomly assigned into two groups (experimental and control groups). The experimental group received 12 sessions (two sessions per week) anger control training program. Then post-test assessments were made in both groups. State-trait anger expression inventory (STAXI-2) and Iranian Addiction Preparation Scale (IAPS) were applied to assess the variables. Analyzing the data clearly showed the effectiveness of anger control training in addiction preparation reduction. So, in comparison to the pretest and control group which didn't receive any interventions, the experimental group that received anger control training program showed significant decrease in addiction preparation scores. So, by adopting such training approaches in children and adolescents, we might be able to take an important step in drug abuse and addiction prevention in this population.

So, quality evaluation is as an effective concept in growth and development of each organization. In this way, evaluation of the current state of quality has an important role in personnel growth and development toward organizational goals. Accordingly, the present research is going to evaluate the current state of education quality in the faculty of administrative and logistics sciences from Police University. The researchers also want to present practical alternatives, if there is a significant difference between the current state and suture state of each variable. This is a descriptive and survey research. We used a standard questionnaire in Police University for evaluation of education quality after defining the crucial factors and research conceptual model. The volume of sample was 150 students of different majors in administrative and logistics science and techniques faculty. In this research, we used Pearson's test to find out any relationship between variables and used Freedman test for ranking the effective variables on education quality. The results showed that the condition of education quality from the point of each three group is relatively good. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between education qualities, the process of learning and teaching, faculty and educational group, educational facilities and equipments and there is a ranking between these variables.
