This is from a few years ago, and while I’ve read more stuff on the lead poisoning theory nothing has been this comprehensive or well researched. Great take on sociology, biology, and criminology.

“Put all this together and you have an astonishing body of evidence. We now have studies at the international level, the national level, the state level, the city level, and even the individual level. Groups of children have been followed from the womb to adulthood, and higher childhood blood lead levels are consistently associated with higher adult arrest rates for violent crimes. All of these studies tell the same story: Gasoline lead is responsible for a good share of the rise and fall of violent crime over the past half century.”
