What are you, nuts? Correlation != Causation. Here's another theory: risky behaviors like smoking and drinking during pregnancy lead to low birthweights, and mothers who smoke and drink during pregnancy are also strongly correlated to criminal activity in their children. Whoda thunk it?!

Smoking? Yes. Smoking crack? Even more so.

Gee, who would have thought a baby raised in a household where a parent smokes crack might grow up to commit crimes?
