The necessity for supplying welfare by the government can be studied from various economic, social, cultural and legal view angles. The importance of the existence of an acceptable level of welfare in the community has paved the way in the contemporary world for the actualization of such a concept as welfare state that was proposed by John Maynard Keynes in reaction to the drastic social-economic crisis that struck the west during 1929 to 1933 in the course of which it could satisfy the citizens’ basic needs for employment, education and treatment through curbing such an unprecedented crisis. Nowadays, the welfare state minimally supports the social system from the very beginning of life till death via its essential solutions and supplies the social welfare through establishing logical ties with the private sector so that we can bear witness to the reduction in crimes and transgressions and felonies and, consequently, decrease in the social violence. According to the abovementioned materials, the objective here is to show that the welfare state has exerted a considerable influence on the expression of social violence by the citizens through providing for social welfare and security that are amongst the principal tasks of the new government. The present study has been carried out based on a descriptive-analytical method and it will be concluded according to the study findings that the welfare state as a human accomplishment has succeeded in creating a positive look along with hope to the future in the citizens’ minds and psyche as well as happiness and serenity in life through offering social services and establishing psychological security as a result of which the violence as a product of discomforts and disorders stemming from the absence of social welfare has been substantially decreased.
