Researchers at the University Of Cincinnati followed 200 innercity children between 1979 and 1984 and found that those with high lead levers in their early years were more likely to end in jail than those with lower leavers. Each microgram-per-deciliter increases resulted in a 50% raise in the likehood of violent crime.
Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, of the National Bureau of Economic Research, has found that from 1992-2002 the violent crime rate fell by 56%,which she believes was the results of the remover of lead from gasoline, and expects a decline of 70% by 2002.
This is more strong evidence of the physical influnces on behavior, which includes brain damage from other causes, such as premature birth, accidents and brain chemistry. These influnces have beem slow to gain recognition because they threaten a basic tenet of both religion and communism that we are all equally responable for our conduct.
As a victiom of brain damage, due to a lack of oxygen at birth, I am very concern about this, and wish to see every effort made to produce productive law adbiding men and women out of high risk children.
