Prozac? I doubt it. The bulk of homicides have always occurred in the inner cities, and those people would be the last to get their hands on prescription pharmaceuticals. Its possible Prozac had some effect on more suburbanized areas of the country, but I think its doubtful that any change from prescription drugs would be statistically relevant to the tune of a 12% total drop. Any drop in homicide rates in the inner cities almost certainly comes from another source, and my money is on political manipulation of the data. As an example, the Baltimore mayor's office came under fire in 2006 for tweaking their crime numbers, and I'm sure that other large cities aren't immune from the same pressures. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/13/AR2006021301857.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02...
