Abstract :

One of the basic strategies in the crime prevention system is social reintegration. The one who commits an abusive behavior must re-enter the community through receiving appropriate trainings and acquiring necessary skills along with obtaining the acceptance of society. There is a close relationship between social reintegration, resocialization and obtained social acceptance of the offenders. The unacceptance by the society is often the main reason of returning offenders to prison.From the legal aspect, social reintegration process is one of the responsibilities of the judiciary, but besides the intra-organizational issues, reoffending and returning to prison has also individual, psychological, economic, social and cultural bases. Enjoying high-quality programs in the crime prevention area and its continuity is the key point in resocialization of offenders which must be seriously under consideration. By developing various groups, providing opportunities for their membership, social reintegration has shifted from a narrow, closed circle around the individual to a wider range of volunteer groups. Having a membership or dependency on sport groups provides the opportunity of social reintegration.In the current field study, a large number of books and articles have been used in order to collect and analyze the impact of physical exercises on social reintegration of the offenders, using various scientific techniques, such as survey and also questionnaire data collection. It was found that there is no relationship between physical exercises and reoffending, tendency to violence, addiction, and suicide; this suggests that in case of increasing physical exercises, these mentioned issues will show a decrease.
