How do you think the church or Christians can influence criminogenic risks, needs, and protective factors?

The church or Christian can influence criminogenic risks, needs, and protective factors by first being aware of the needs and risks. Based on the appreciation of the needs and challenges, thoughts and inputs are aroused as to how to meet the needs. Based on the amount of interests generated, people can now begin to get involved, volunteer, contribute financially, and make other capital investments to this need.
However, in a church setting, the galvanisation must be initiated through or by the pastor and elders of the church, in order to woo the trust and active participation/involvement of the volunteers.
