Abstract

Researchers suggest an inverse relationship between criminal behaviors and a number of social bonds, including religiosity, but few studies have examined religiosity’s impact among adults, especially those known to have committed serious crimes. Utilizing survey data from a large sample of men and women incarcerated for felonies in a southwestern correctional system, we estimated a series of regressions examining the relationship between religiosity and intentions to drive drunk, controlling for a number of other social and self-control measures. We also explored possible race and sex differences in these relationships. Results support the negative relationship between religiosity and crime; and indicate that this significant relationship is similar among men and women, and also among White and African American individuals.
监禁人群中不同亚样本的宗教信仰与犯罪意向的关系研究
研究人员认为,犯罪行为与包括宗教信仰在内的许多社会纽带之间存在反比关系,但很少有研究调查宗教信仰对成年人的影响,尤其是那些已知犯下严重罪行的人。在西南地区的一个惩教系统中,我们利用大量因重罪被监禁的男性和女性样本的调查数据,估计了一系列回归,考察了宗教信仰与酒后驾车意图之间的关系,并控制了许多其他社会和自我控制措施。我们还探讨了这些关系中可能存在的种族和性别差异。结果支持宗教信仰与犯罪之间的负相关关系;并表明这种重要的关系在男性和女性之间是相似的,在白人和非裔美国人之间也是如此。
