Using targeted sampling and snowballs, the participation of 25 law enforcement commanders who had a history of responsibility in managing the country's earthquake crises in recent decades in the Delphi group was used. The final data obtained from the Delphi questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests and Kendall's inferential inference test. Results: The findings of the qualitative stage revealed 111 propositions in the field of earthquake management, which were divided into 15 different dimensions based on their content, including 5 pre-crisis stages, 6 intra-crisis stages and 4 post-crisis dimensions. During the two stages of the Delphi survey, an acceptable consensus of more than 70% was achieved in all dimensions. Conclusion: Based on the results of the research, the pre-crisis police management model in 5 dimensions, including command measures, staff training and empowerment, logistical and defense measures, bedrock of internal and external interaction; During the crisis in 6 dimensions, including crisis command, preparedness and dispatch of police forces and equipment, urban and suburban traffic management, crime control and disorder, earthquake-affected staff, protection-security measures and post-crisis in 4 dimensions, Includes the normalization of regulatory conditions in the earthquake-stricken area, control and monitoring measures, repair and reconstruction, and strategic analysis.

Background and Aim: In crime prevention management, futurology is one of the most important and effective principles in predicting and preparing for crime. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the quantification of the occurrence of assault and battery crimes with a mixed approach of scenario writing and futurology using GIS in the city of Ahvaz. Method: This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature and in terms of methodology, it is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The information needed to do this has been collected in the form of a library and by referring to organizations. One of the most accurate ways to identify future events is to write a scenario. Results: In this study, using some effective drivers in the field of urban assault and battery crimes (pattern of distribution of crimes, population growth and population density, average literacy level of criminals) based on the methods of GIS, Delphi and panel of experts extracted and then it was analyzed. Three possible scenarios were drawn for the city of Ahvaz, which are: increase in assault and battery crimes, decrease in assault and battery crimes and stability of assault and battery crimes.
