>No one painted this portrait so well as John Dilulio, the criminologist who popularized the term. A self-styled tough researcher, he surveyed juvenile prisons, where he saw “vacant stares and smiles” and “remorseless eyes” staring back at him. These kids “pack guns instead of lunches,” he wrote. They roam the streets in “‘wolf packs,’” and “‘maim and kill on impulse.’” Sure sounds like sound science /s. I wish more politicians/the general public weren't so vulnerable to Appeal to Emotion fallacy. A guy wandering through a juvenile prison and being spooked shouldn't count for jack shit in policymaking.
