I’ve read that access to abortions and reducing lead can also have dramatic effects on the crime rate as well. The criminal justice system though, seems to have been designed in such a way that once you get caught up in it, it’s hard to get out of its orbit again. It’s like this black hole that tries to suck up anything that gets too close.
