    Description

    This research looks to analyze and identify a correlation or lack of correlation between religion and criminality. Past literature presents a variety of results that prevents any concrete determination of a correlation. Through a negative binomial regression, this research looks at data from interviews of juveniles ages 14 to 18 to see if a relationship exists between higher crime rates and the importance of spirituality in their lives. The results of this research contribute to a better understanding of spirituality on individual’s criminal behaviors and specifically adds a focus to the youth population.
