The data were analyzed wsing SPSS, and were done, wsing SPSS, by caparison of frequencies and Percentages, the Chi-square, Cramer's V and Kendall's Taub statistics. The results show that: A: Although majority of the students were religious, howe ner we found that the normal students were more religious than the delinquent students. B: Students' social class, as control variable, did not have any effect in the above result. C: The students' opinion towards the family life was another control variable.
