Crime and Religion
Many authors have written on the intersection between religion, crime, and deviance. Does religion prevent individuals from committing crimes? How does religion shape an individual’s perception of crime and deviance? How does religion affect views on punishments for crimes? These are the type of questions sociologists ask, and these are the type of questions this learning module will explore.
The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.
