    Every time I inform someone that the abortion-crime hypothesis went bust and point them toward the lead-crime hypothesis instead, it feels like saving a soul...

        In case you wondered, here's a bunch of good research supporting the lead-crime hypothesis:https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2017/06/01/new-evidence-that-lead-exposure-increases-crime/ …

        And here's an article about the economists who found out that the famous abortion-crime paper had a major coding error and some other big problems.https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2005/12/01/oops-onomics …

        Oh so the abortion-crime hypothesis is ill-founded? And the lead-paint effect was that huge?

        Thank you And Huh Environment regs should be sold as law and order regs

        As someone who left environmental law, this country’s existing “environmental regs” are actually elaborate schemes to permit and license pollution. Hard to sell them as law & order.

        How solid is the evidence for lead-crime? I haven’t been able to find much beyond the expose that originally brought it to light. If legit though it’s arguably the most important social science finding in decades.
