It can be found from the above description that whether it is Christianity, Islam or Hinduism, none could prevent crimes among their own people. The purpose of most of the religions have become the existence of the religions themselves. Most of them have turned to be like corporate bodies. While many of the governments themselves are nurturing crime among their own people and religions have failed to provide any positive contribution, it is for the people to come ahead to shape up a crime free society by remoulding the existing educational system as a whole.
