Immigrant youth are one of the urban groups that are exposed to kinds of problems, crimes and social deviations for various reasons. The aim of this study was to understand the contexts of crime in immigrant youth in Tehran. The method of the present study is qualitative, content analysis and the necessary information has been collected using the technique of observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews. The sample size is 26 immigrant youth who are currently in prison. Immigration with the motive of work and labor and committing criminal behavior are the two dominant forms of immigration motivation by immigrant youth, and crimes related to drugs and theft are the most common crimes among immigrant youth. After careful analysis of the information, six main themes and twenty-one sub-themes were extracted. Finding shows that most of the young immigrants have migrated to Tehran not with the motive of committing a crime, but with the motive of work and labor. However, after a while and encountering multiple negative and damaging situations and incitement to crime, they engage in criminal behaviors. In a nutshell, the migration of young immigrants to Tehran has not only improved the situation of many of them, but has also led to their involvement in common crimes.

Factors Affecting the Age of Youth Marriage in Tehran Ardeshir Entezari[1] , Ahmad Ghiyasvand[2] , Fatemeh Abbasi[3] Received: 7/6/2017 Accepted: 26/2/2018 Abstract The structural and functional status of the family in Iran is changing. One of the important changes is the increase in the age of marriage of young people. It is important to study this change as an indicator for postponing family formation. In this study, in order to explain the age of marriage of young people, in spite of the social, economic and cultural factors of the society, the choosing spouse space is discussed.. In order to derive research hypotheses the second transitional theory of demography, the cultural transformation of Inglehart, modernization, and the space of choosing spouse has been used. The research method is survey and its population is all young people during marriage in Tehran (1394). A multi-stage sampling method was used and the sample size was estimated at 379. The results show that the socioeconomic status of the girl's family with a coefficient of 0.41, socioeconomic status of young girls with a coefficient of 0.25, lack of access to the space of choosing spouse with a coefficient of 0.19 has the greatest impact on the increase of girls' marriage age. Also, the socioeconomic level of boys with a factor directly affects the increase in their marriage age. In other words, the higher the level of education, income and job status of boys, the age of their marriage increases. [1].

The human capital is defined as knowledge, skills, and other abilities that will lead to improvement in the quality and level of production. The capital achieved at younger ages would have stronger effects on progress at later ages. Family has shown to have a crucial influence on the achievement of human capital and investment in this field. Iranian families are now experiencing a low level of fertility, improvements in the education of parents, and a relatively high level of family dissolution. Using data drawn from the Time Use Survey (conducted in the years 2008-2009), this paper aims to examine the effects of the number of children on the achievement of human capital by young children in urban areas of Iran. Target population includes 2183 never-married children aged 15-19 years. Findings show a negative relationship between the number of children and the achievement of human capital. A sharper difference exists between families with one or two children and families with three and more children. Multivariate analyses show the significant effects of the sex and age of children, and the mother's level of education. The presence of such control variables, however, does not change the effect of the number of children. The results can suggest the sustainability of low family size (two-child family) in future.
