Answer to Question 1

 Religiosity also helped protect girls at high risk for delinquency from violent behavior. Girls from disadvantaged neighborhoods and those who had been sexually abused were less likely to engage in violent forms of delinquency when they were religious.
 Girls who had been neglected or physically assaulted were more likely to engage in aggravated assault when they were religious.
 It is possible that when girls are neglected and experience repeated physical assault early in life, their belief systems may become skewed to support the idea that violence is an acceptable and normal behavior.
 If girls who are physically abused live in homes where religious beliefs are promoted, religion could function as a belief system that supports violence.
 Hawkins and her colleagues find that among high risk girls, the presence of a caring adult, school success, school connectedness, and religiosity may protect against some forms of delinquent behavior for some girls, but this protective effect is subject to complex interactions with risk factors and age.
 Student views will vary.
