And most research with the "correlative" conclusion had been refuted in more recent works

my survey was less than systematic which is why I asked if there were any breaking studies or w/e

I'm not going to compile a literature review on the topic but I actually wanted to see if rigorous investigation supported these claims, at least through a cursory look through the literature

EDIT: After such a statement I should probably substantiate those claims at least a little, but I'm tired and am not gonna do it unless people will actually read it

I do encourage people interested to conduct similar searches through academic journals instead of public news outlets

criminology and criminal justice is my major and this is a dumb statement to say. this is a good writeup
