Why do you think there’s such a thing as “a criminal mind”? Crimes are just infractions of the government’s rules, people might commit them for all sorts of reasons from loss of temper to monetary reward to revenge to religious/moral conviction. It’s a cost/benefit analysis.

The phasing out of lead in gasoline in the mid-1970s in the USA has played a role. Today's teenagers carried much lower levels of lead in their blood when they were infants/toddlers, and thus avoided the brain damage incurred by earlier generations. https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/02/lead-exposure-gasoline-crime-increase-children-health/ …
