Steven D. Levitt Quotes

Perhaps The Most Dramatic Effect Of Legalized Abortion, However, And One That Would Take Years To Reveal Itself, Was Its Impact On Crime. In The Early 1990s, Just As The First Cohort Of Children Born After Roe V. Wade Was Hitting Its Late Teen Years - The Years During Which Young Men Enter Their Criminal Prime - The Rate Of Crime Began To Fall. What This Cohort Was Missing, Of Course, Were The Children Who Stood The Greatest Chance Of Becoming Criminals. And The Crime Rate Continued To Fall As An Entire Generation Came Of Age Minus The Children Whose Mothers Had Not Wanted To Bring A Child Into The World. Legalized Abortion Led To Less Unwantedness; Unwantedness Leads To High Crime; Legalized Abortion, Therefore, Led To Less Crime.
