Freakconomics Refuted

A few posts ago I commented on Steve Levitt’s book Freakconomics. Levitt gave evidence that abortion lowered the crime rate but in reality only a portion of the data supports his theory. The other portion refutes it. I am not going to go into the facts but I will give some links.

Here is a article that gives the fact of where Levitt went wrong:

Here is a debate between Steve Levitt and Steve Sailer on the subject:

Here are two books that refute Levitt's claim:
