  • Religiosity and delinquency
    Flere, Sergej
    The relationship between religiosity and delinquency is studied on a survey sample (1200) of Maribor university undergraduates (2003). Ensuing from the Hirscbi and Stark assertion (1969) as to lack ... of link between religiosity and delinquency, well as from the transformation of religiosity during post-modernity in a relativistic direction, it was supposed that there would be no link between religiosity and de1inquency. This was rejected in this study by a finding of significant variation in the odds ratio as to committing delinquent acts among those who are intensively religious and those who are not religious at all. It was found that personal religiosity does have a definite inhibitory effect upon general type delinquency, even though the beta coefficient was not high (.155, sig..OOO). Indications were found that religiosity has a greater delinquency inhibiting impact upon those residing outside a large city, in small town and rural surroundings, supporting the Stark et al. (1982) contention of "moral community", as the environment where religiosity does have an effect, in our case only a minor stimulus. Other variables also intervened, sex being the most potent one
