Q (Complete this assignment after reading Lecture 5c and Chapters 11, 12, and 13) I have slightly modified some questions from the textbook chapters, for a better fit with the Lecture 5c material and with the article attached, by Topalli and his colleagues (2013). Read the article first, then apply the evaluation questions listed below to the study described in the article. Topalli et al., 2013 (religious beliefs of street criminals).pdf Each question is graded on a scale of 1 to 5 or give an N/A (not applicable) or I/I (insufficient information).
