Trump Says Religion Reduces Crime. Experts Disagree. | HuffPost Life
““Religion can have the opposite effect,” Adamczyk added. “We can think about murder and terrorism, and in some cases, religion is the motivating source for that.”
Belief in heaven and hell doesn’t appear to deter crime, either.
“Although there are people who choose not to commit crime in order to ‘go to heaven,’ empirical research does not indicate that is how religion generally works in reducing crime,” Jang said.
This distinction is found in a 2021 study by the Percy Foundation, a nonprofit that studies religion and criminal justice. Researchers interviewed 526 inmates and found that the majority were religious believers prior to their arrests.
Notably, 69.5% of sex offenders and 62.7% of the non-sex offenders said religious faith was “somewhat or very important” to them based on self-reported views prior to their arrests. While this is compared to 73% of adult men in the general U.S. population who say religion is “somewhat or very important,” according to a 2014 Pew survey, it’s still noteworthy that the majority of incarcerated men were religious before committing a crime. ”…

States sue to stop student loan limits on some healthcare degrees : NPR
In implementing the changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Trump administration has scaled back the types of graduate degrees that qualify as "professional" and for which students can borrow up to $50,000 a year and $200,000 overall. It is limiting those exempted programs to 11 categories: chiropractic, clinical psychology, dentistry, law, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, theology and veterinary medicine. Nursing, physical therapy and nurse anesthesia are some of the many healthcare-related programs excluded from that short list of professional degrees…

However, a one-page document posted on the DOJ website early Tuesday includes a sweeping release under which the IRS is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing “examinations” of Trump, “related or affiliated individuals,” and related trusts and businesses.
The waiver specifically encompasses “tax returns filed before the effective date” of the settlement, which was Monday…
John Koskinen, the former IRS commissioner from 2013 to 2017, said the expanded settlement set a “terrible precedent” that could effectively generate a windfall for Trump.“It makes you wonder what the President has to hide in those tax returns. He’s apparently been actively trading in the stock market and, since he knows a lot more about situations than the average investor, he’s probably generated significant taxable earnings,” he said in an emailed statement. “Not auditing his returns is the same as giving him an easy way to, in effect, receive money from the government.”…
