Religious practices in delinquents

Too few studies have assessed the relationship between an individual and religiousity, which captured depth understanding of misbehavior, delinquency. This article investigates the role of religion in behavior before partaking in delinquency and how it is able to influence the decisions made in life. Moreover, this study focuses on the individual's religious practices from childhood, teen, and adult. Analysis is based on qualitative data set collected from 4 delinquents who are already convicted and still serving their sentences in the Henry Gurney School (juvenile school). This research uses focus group interviews and personal notes which are combined and arranged into N-vivo software. The research suggests that being close to parents benefit their religious practices and their childhood is more on religious practices compared to teen lives.
