Default Re: The Tipping Point + Freakonomics re: crime

[ QUOTE ]

I've only read the tipping point theory behind this.

What is the Freakonomics reasoning behind it?

[/ QUOTE ]

The reasoning is that people who have abortions are in the same demographics that produce criminals, and that a lower birthrate amongst these people produced less criminals. The reason it took 20 odd years after roe v wade for this to happen is that 9 year olds tend to not be very good at carjacking.
