Abstract :
Engineering disasters, which are often caused by engineering's criminal behavior, have become an increasing trend. This article is based on a descriptive analytical method and by using an open interview method, it seeks to find the reason for the occurrence of such crimes and violations from the perspective of criminal sociology. This article is based on the hypothesis that although the economic factor plays a prominent role in the occurrence of crimes in the engineering world, it is not the most fundamental cause. Rather, factors such as the incorrect process of engineers' training, belief in the correctness and rationality of some criminal behavior and especially sticking to the goals and trying to survive the engineering group by any cost are the most important crime-causing factors in this industry. Considering the theories of criminal sociology, this article deals with economic-oriented penal calculation, differential association, pressure and neutralization technique theories. Finally, it was concluded that among the theories of criminal sociology, the neutralization techniques and differential association are the most suitable theories for finding the cause of the criminal behavior of the engineers.
