Connection between unleaded gasoline and crime rate reductions?

It sounds pretty farfetched to me, but again I'm not a sociologist (I actually have a job--BAZING!!!)

So why isn't this theory universally accepted?

Well, it remains a theory because nobody could ever deliberately poison thousands of children to see whether they became criminals later in life.

Stalin-inventor of the troll face.

Sounds legit

I think the obvious implication is: "Low costs, relative to income, for basic commodity items, result in low crime rates."

Electricity, food, and gasoline (petrol for my British friends).

Some want to add internet to that list and some European countries have.

Did anyone see Cosmos last night? If not I think it is on again tonight.

I would not doubt if there was a connection between crime and leaded gas.

I was just about to mention the Cosmos episode. Clair Patterson deserves a giant statue for what he did. One made out of lead.

I used to have a 1964 Cadillac that I had to add lead-additive to; I used to always want to commit a crime when driving that car. /science

Taking up two lands with a land barge doesn't count as crime, bro.

Except in Venezuela. Of course they're experiencing commodity shortages now, but I want to say they had a pretty high crime rate even before the shortages happened.
