Crime goes down when unwanted kids that would have become criminals aren't born. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion-and-crime-revisite...

Expect regressive states to have an explosion in crime over the next few decades.

Hey, is there any correlation between race and wealth in the US?

Crime correlating with race but not wealth would be rather odd in a country where the median net worth for white people is more than six times that of black people. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/31/us/us-racial-wealth-gap-reaj/...
