Or the so-called crack wars[1], whose effect on criminal violence is so huge that whatever the effect size of lead or abortions was, it’s absolutely dwarfed to the point where it isn’t practically analyzable. Between 1984 and 1989, the homicide rate for Black males aged 14 to 17 more than doubled, and the homicide rate for Black males aged 18 to 24 increased nearly as much. During this period, the Black community also experienced a 20–100% increase in fetal death rates, low birth-weight babies, weapons arrests, and the number of children in foster care.
