But there's a huge difference between murder and petty crime. Just because murders decrease because e.g. less lead in the environment, doesn't necessarily mean that petty crime also decreased. This doesn't pass the necessary/sufficient test.
- roywiggins 2y agoMurders are down 13% year over year, that's probably not a lead-reduction effect.
