The statistical population of this study is all perpetrators of drug-related crimes in Isfahan Women's Prison in 1400, whose number was equal to 92 people; But the output of the software was equal to 69 questionnaires. The findings of the study indicate that the main causes of drug-related crimes committed by women who commit drug crimes in Isfahan Women's Prison are group of friends and weakness of will, respectively. Hence, people try to be like their friends and align with them. Therefore, friends have a great influence on people's tendency to drug-related crimes. It can also be said that the stronger the determination of people, the more they resist the deviant behavior of others and avoid committing it. It was also observed that friends have the greatest impact on the tendency to commit crimes in the field of drugs, and the weakness of the will causes the most influence of friends on them in the tendency to drug crimes.
