James conducts a study on the number of churches and amount of crime and finds a strong positive relationship between the two (in other words, the more churches there are in a location, the more crime there is).

James conducts a study on the number of churches and amount of crime and finds a strong positive relationship between the two (in other words, the more churches there are in a location, the more crime there is). What should James conclude? a. Churches cause crime; therefore, cities should attempt to reduce the number of churches. b. Committing a crime causes people to go to church more in an effort to atone for their sins. c. High population density causes both churches and crime to increase in any geographical location. d. None of the above; it is not appropriate to make causal claims based on correlational data.
