The theme of self-sacrifice is clearest in the part of the narrative that deals with Jesus' death. This event is understood in many different ways in the [[New Testament]], but one central theme is that Jesus died on our behalf, an innocent man on behalf of the guilty.<ref>[https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/religion-morality/ Religion and Morality], Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy</ref>}}

The abstract for the journal article ''Religion and Crime: A Systematic Review and Assessment of Next Steps'' published in ''Sociology of Religion'' in 2017 states concerning [[religion and crime reduction]]:
{{Cquote|Over the last twenty years researchers have given a lot of attention to the relationship between religion and crime, finding that religion tends to have a deterring influence on crime-related attitudes and behaviors. While a variety of studies have been published in this area, little work has been done to assess the state of research on religion and crime. Because so much research has consistently found a relationship, work on religion may be able to offer fresh insight into criminological theory and substantive research more generally.<ref>[https://academic.oup.com/socrel/article-abstract/78/2/192/3089763?redirectedFrom=fulltext Religion and Crime: A Systematic Review and Assessment of Next Steps] by
