why can't religion reduce the rate of crimes in our society?
Religion: I believe religion is a practice that teaches ways of good conducts and we all tend to found ourselves in a religion. I'm so sure all religion talks about good that leads man to the right track, correction from evil, love for one another, peace. But we still come across killings and all sort of different crimes in our society. If the society should practice our individual religion which they tend to belong, i feel the world would be a better place for mankind

As our faces are different so are our hearts, the way we think and how we see things, we shouldn't use "religion" as a key to stop something that have been their since from the beginning of this world, the thing is humans are not afraid of God almighty just because they don't see the maker face to face, instead they (humans) fear the police, politicians and anybody that have the power to change things around them.
Haven't you seen where things get missing inside church, in the house of God during service, laptops, phones, money you name it, that alone would tell that religion can't put a stop to crime and other crazy behavior we humans possess.

It is an interesting discussion to have, because there are people out there in different societies who believe religion by itself can stop crime and bad things from happening by its own, I recall from by religion classes than even in the Bible it is written that those scourges against humanity are not supposed to disappear before the beginning of the era of peace brought to us by God himself. It is similar to when Christ said that humanity will always have the poor for us to be charitable to, while his time of Earth was limited during his first arrival in the middle east.
Just because of the fact government may not be able to control crime completely, it does not mean we are supposed to give up into reaching a better society by enforcing laws and at the same time tackling the roots and causes of increasing criminality in our countries.

It is a very complex and sensitive topic, the kind of is required to study and research about before giving a broad and open opinion.
