Well, to paraphrase something my Mum often says: "Pray in one hand, shit in the other; see which you get first."
Meditation or prayer, if you're going by crime rates then it clearly isn't quite as effective as all that: Total crimes (most recent) by country.
As you can see, the US (arguably the most religious western nation) is by far the clear front-runner, with almost twice the number of crimes of the UK (a secular yet nominally xtian nation). Can you cite the source for the "lower crime rates" claim, please? It should be easy enough if it's so well-documented.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
