      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 …

          Yes. I first ran across it through @kdrum at Mother Jones, about five years ago. I try to stay away from crazy theories, but this one just keeps getting stronger.

          I hope the follow up study is about whether exposure to fracking byproducts leads to a tendency to chant 'Lock her up'.

          Someone should expand this to see if the excessive violence in antiquity and medieval Europe can also be attributed back to lead

          Is there any research regarding standardized tests scores and lead exposure? As in communities more exposed to lead have lower scores ?

          More importantly, do any of those studies correct for other factors, as the article mentions, like poverty rates?

          What about mercury or asbestos? Do they also cause in increase in crime?
