Legalized abortion and crime effect
The effect of legalized abortion on crime (also the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis) proposes that legal abortion reduces crime. In 1972, the Rockefeller Commission on Population and the American Future, published research suggesting such a relationship, citing in part works dating to 1966. In 2001, Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago and John Donohue of Yale University, argued, citing their research and earlier studies, that children who are unwanted or whose parents cannot support them are likelier to become criminals, and that there is an inverse correlation between the availability of abortion and subsequent crime. Critics have argued that the Donohue and Levitt's methodologies are flawed.
==1972 Rockefeller Commission==
The 1972 Rockefeller Commission on Population and the American Future is one of the better known early versions of this claim, although it was not the first.〔(Rockefeller Commission on Population and the American Future )〕 The Commission cited research stating that the children of women denied an abortion "turned out to have been registered more often with psychiatric services, engaged in more antisocial and criminal behavior, and have been more dependent on public assistance." A 1966 study by Hans Forssman and Inga Thuwe was cited by the Rockefeller Commission and is probably the first serious empirical research on this topic. They studied the children of 188 women who were denied abortions from 1939 to 1941 at the hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. They compared these unwanted children to another group – the next child born after each of the unwanted children at the hospital. The unwanted children were more likely to grow up in adverse conditions, such as having divorced parents or being raised in foster homes and were more likely to become delinquents and engaged in crime.〔Hans Forssman and Inga Thuwe, "One hundred and twenty children born after application for therapeutic abortion refused," Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1966, 71–78〕 Supreme Court Justice Blackmun's opinion in ''Roe v. Wade'' also referenced the social and private problems "of bringing a child into a family already unable, psychologically and otherwise, to care for it."〔(Roe v. Wade (No. 70-18) 314 F.Supp. 1217 )〕
