What it is is that 'violent youth is a product of society' has an agenda. People are using crime to push particular agendas.

If it turns out that lead exposure the culprit the throws a big monkey wrench in that.

Random thought as well, what if it turns out that the rise in obesity and type II diabetes is due to something similar?

HN recently discussed an article arguing that obesity in the United States apparently rolls downhill, with little at high altitude and a great deal at sea level. The inference being that water-borne pollutants may be the cause of obesity.
