CRIME AND RELIGION.

The noted italian crlmlnologlst.

portant and exceedingly interesting
question whether religion prevents
crime. lie considers religion" merely
from an objective point of view. and
arrives al the conclusion that only
those religions that nrc "pnasionatoly
and fanatlcnlly moral" can prevent
crime: others are less potent In this
direction thnn even atheism.

have survived FOR many centuries have

Of the masses, while they have retained

accounts for the fact that crime H. on

Some " hla figures are rather start
