Abstract

Nigeria is a divergent and multi-religious nation where great importance is placed on religion. The belief systems impact its followers with morals and values which ought to be adhered to. It is therefore alarming that despite Nigeria’s high religious culture, the country is still one of the most corrupt and crime filled nations in the world. This article assesses and underlines the role of Religion in curbing and fighting crimes in Nigeria. The study acutely explores the relationship between crime and religion, and the effect of not giving credence to it. The study uses secondary data analysis to examine the relationship between law and religion, and the role of religion in crime reduction in Nigeria.The work finds that religion has the capacity to play a great role in the reduction of crime rates, and if the instrument of law and religion is well utilized, crimes will be adequately curbed in the society. The study recommends that awareness be conducted for various religious organizations, especially those with educational institutions, on their role in crime prevention and reduction at various levels in Nigeria.
