Abstract:

It is presented a review of the literature regarding the role of religion in the promotion of health, in the prevention of violence and in the rehabilitation of individuals involved in criminal activities. An article research was performed on the following database: Medline through PubMed, Lilacs, Scopus, Social Index With Full Text, Sociological Abstracts and Social Services Abstracts. Twenty-nine essays were selected and analyzed between 1990 and 2011 in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The main results indicate the function of the religious group and the role of religion in the rehabilitation of individuals, in the prevention of criminal involvement, in corrective orientations and in social iniquity environments. A debate is presented on the main disclosed themes, highlighting the multiplicity of religious roles, its influence over incarcerated individuals, as a support base and social control and its influence on mental health promotion and life quality. The relation between religion and public sphere is discussed, emphasizing the role of religious groups and that some of their activities exposes the fragility of the State in providing basic public policies. Regardless of pointing out a successful role of religion in violence prevention and in rehabilitation, some studies question this relation and highlights the conflicts between the employed concepts and the final results.
