    The document summarizes a meta-analysis examining the effect of religion on crime. The analysis looked at studies testing the hypothesis that greater religious commitment or belief is associated with lower crime rates. The meta-analysis found an inverse relationship between religion and crime, such that higher religious commitment or belief is correlated with lower crime rates or higher social conformity.
