Strong language, but I can see you're emotional about the topic, calling the book 'godless' because its conclusions don't match what you think should be the case. There's no need to support abortion in order to accept that it may have had an effect on crime!<BR/><BR/>Also, your comment about New York crime didn't deal with the issue at all, and shows faulty understanding of statistics.<BR/><BR/>Crime was dropping in all US cities. New York was in the middle. Cities without 'zero-tolerance' policies did better, or worse, than New York. Clearly New York was not special. So why was crime dropping in all cities? There were clearly other reasons, which the book attempts to determine.<BR/><BR/>Responding to science, even flawed science, with emotional, irrational outbursts doesn't do your credibility any good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707803.post-1174446578854349722007-03-21T01:09:00.000-03:002007-03-21T01:09:00.000-03:00Actually lots of drug dealing goes on behind bars ...Actually lots of drug dealing goes on behind bars in America.
