> THE CAUSE OF CRIMINALITY among the white population of England is perfectly obvious to any reasonably observant person, though criminologists have yet to notice it. This cause is the tattooing of the skin.
> A slow-acting virus, like that of scrapie in sheep, is introduced into the human body via the
tattooing needle and makes its way to the brain, where within a few years it causes the afflicted to
steal cars, burgle houses, and assault people.
I first formulated my viral theory of criminality when I noticed that at least nine of ten white English
prisoners are tattooed, more than three or four times the proportion in the general population. The
statistical association of crime with tattooing is stronger, I feel certain, than between crime and any
other single factor, with the possible exception of smoking.
A lot of people consider the effects of lead from leaded gas to have been a major factor driving criminality over decades, so it seems odd for someone to not even be aware of that enough to specifically address it.
