This is just another way to state that if children are brought up with proper values, they do not murder. Children, especially young men, that are brought up with no values tend to go into what I call the tribal default mode with no respect for anyone else.

Add this to the work of David Kennedy and we come close to what conservatives have been saying for years.

Of course, the left will never admit it.

how bout keep urban young fatherless black boys away from each other?

If, the researchers theorized, that instant could be almost frozen in time, allowing for a bit of reflection, then a kid might walk away from a beef, rather than throwing everything away to settle it.

Father's used to instill this in boys. I didn't fly off the handle as a young man, because the reality of what my father's reaction would be gave me pause.

As usual the common denominator in criminals is the lack of an in-home biological father (or dedicated adoptive father) who provides firm guidance to developing minds.

Urban yutes have no such father and turn feral at puberty.

The National Bureau of Economic Research has released data from the university’s Crime Lab that shows that cognitive behavioral therapy—in which young people are taught to observe their thought patterns and change them—can prevent homicide, at least while the therapy is ongoing.(emphasis added)

They think that some kind of therapy is going to work?

Yeah. That’s the ticket. Damned liberals.

In their utopian world, if we address the “root causes”, there will be no evil. In their view, society causes every problem, and if they fix the problems in society, then the problems with people will disappear.

If THAT doesn’t work, the next best thing is “therapy” of some kind. Primal Scream therapy, psychoanalysis, you name it.

They think this way because they think they can control everything. This is a basic difference between liberals and conservatives.

Liberals think that if they did something differently, taught them a certain way, sent them to a certain school, gave them a certain job, that there would be no evil in a given person.

Conservatives understand that some people just have evil in them.

This study belongs in the same circular file as the study on rehabilitation of violent and sex criminals, which assumes such criminals were ever habilitated in the first place.

Arrest rates dropped by 44%. Phenomenal!

A year later the effect wore off. It’s as though children need constant guidance.

You mean like in "Lord of the Flies"?
