I believe there's been an established connection between exposure to lead and reduced cognitive ability in kids.  I remember my driving instructor talking about kids in Detroit getting brain-damage from leaded-gas smog, and that was in the late 1990s.

Is it that far fetched to suspect that brain damage from lead exposure would cause higher rates of criminality?  We see the same thing in fetal alcohol syndrome kids, don't we?
