Writing Worth Reading
The crime theories in these books are controversial. For example, they say that abortion stopped a whole new generation of criminals from being born. And that is because they say abortion is most prominent among the lowest class people.
Your next book intrigues me, Freakonomics and its sequel SuperFreakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. What has this got to do with crime?
These two gentlemen wrote the first book several years ago and SuperFreakonomics just came out. The books are very interesting on crime theory. Their theories are controversial. For example, they link a decrease in crime to the legalisation of abortion. In a nutshell they say that abortion stopped a whole new generation of criminals from being born. And that is because they say abortion is most prominent among the lowest class people. That is, of course, not a politically correct statement to make, but when you go through their numbers and what they have done, sadly there rings a strong sound of truth in their argument. So, I would encourage anyone with an open mind to read these books and give it some thought.
