He indicated that the most important findings confirmed that the most impactful family roles -with their diverse religious, psychological, educational, and social dimensions- have positive relationship with the promotion of security, as well as indirect impact on preventing the crime and behavioral aberration.

The study concluded with an array of recommendations related to setting an integrated program to prevent the crime and aberration, in addition to crafting a path for higher education and scientific research with respect to the family role in bolstering security and preventing the crime.
