We’re in the field all day for harvest, so I won’t be on here much for the next couple months.

She doesn’t link to the study, so its hard to evaluate. But seems heavily confounded by the fact that younger males probably have the lowest heart rate when they are between the ages 14 and 24 years old, the time when testosterone is a its peak, prefrontal cortex still in development and maturation, and of course when most crime takes place.

Freakonomics Radio did a piece several years ago linking lower crime rates to fewer young men.

Less testosterone → Less crime.

'In a remarkable longitudinal study of over 700,000 men, those with the lowest RHR:
-were the most likely to commit both violent and non-violent crime"
I guess I have to go out and do a little shoplifting and then beat up someone in the parking lot. :sweat_smile:
Junk science at its finest.

What kind of crime helps lowering heart rate the best?

Maybe the blokes with a high resting heart rate are too out of shape to commit violent crimes? :joy:

She did eventually link to the study:

But I am spent, and will have to look at it later.

Will this mean that in the “Minority Report” future that young men with low heart rates will just be thrown in jail?
