摘要：Presently, a major problem in Zanjan is the frequency of Social Anomies, and most specifically street offences against women. This undesirable phenomenon has most seriously jeopardized the citizen's health and life to the extent that it has become a concern of police and judicial authorities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the judicial structure of these anomies in the city of Zanjan and to identify spatial patterns and facilitating factors for this crime to be committed, in order to fight and control the areas that are inflicted with such crimes, using statistical models and geographical data organization. This study utilizes a comparative analytical method. To identify and recognize spatial patterns of offences in the city, graphics-based and statistical models have been used in Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. Mean center test and standard deviation ellipse include the most important statistical tests used in this study. To identify the crime spots, the closest neighborhood indicator has been used as the test of clustering. This study benefits from statistical tests as well as graphics-based statistical methods, including Kernel Density Estimation. The statistical population of this study includes total street offences that have occurred in the city of Zanjan within one year. The findings of this study reveal that the spatial distribution of street offences against women in the city of Zanjan follows a centralized and clustered pattern. Also, the mean center of this crime is mainly located at geographic center of the city and the central district. According to the findings of this study, Zanjan is the third city where the occurrence of street offences is most highly frequent, with a rate of 14.78%. The most significant area include Enghelab Intersection, Sadi Intersection, Zeynabiyeh St., Taleghani St., Arg Sq., Haft-e-Tir Terminal, and most specifically the central part of Zanjan. To improve the security and to lower the anomies in these geographic areas, it seems that we need to improve recreational and leisure-time facilities, to design uniform structures in the local space and diminishing the areas that lack an urban defense facility, organizing deserted and left areas, and balancing districts based on the occupancy in these areas
