Be be Ted had pay Way Esi 235 Jedi Psi the her study links poor prenatal care violence by Cox news service los Angeles an exhaustive new study of More than 4,200 White males tracked from the womb to adulthood strongly links criminal behaviour with poor prenatal care and says evidence is compelling that America could slash violent crime by offering More medical attention to pregnant women. Thanks to Denmark s comprehensive system of keep ing track of its citizens or. Adrian Raine of the University of Southern California and other researchers were Able to study the medical records of 4,269 males from birth through the age of 18 for clues to violent be Havior. To their Surprise researchers found a direct Correla Tion Between youths who suffered common birth com plications and a proclivity toward violent crime later in Zodiac letter not a hoax police say new York a a letter written by a self proclaimed killer calling him self Zodiac was not a hoax and contains information about several attacks that Only the perpetrator would know police said Friday. The letter displays intimate knowl Edge about a series of attacks two fatal dating to 1992 information that probably Only the shooter or someone close to him would know chief of detectives Joseph Borrelli told a news con Ference. The letter sent to the new York Post earlier this month also gives a cryptic listing of five alleged shootings in a new York City neighbourhood that includes times locations Caliper of gun used and sex and race of victims. Police confirmed that four incidents took place As described with one exception one of the victims was stabbed to death but apparently never shot. Be fore the letter turned up none of the cases had been reported in detail. But Borrelli refused to specify How the Content of the letter showed inside knowledge of any of the confirmed cases. He also conceded that police have made Little Progress toward rident flying the writer. To be perfectly honest we re puzzled he said. No solid evidence has surfaced that would link the current Zodiac shooter to another series of mysterious shoot Ings in the summer of 1990 by someone who also called himself the Zodiac Borrelli said. Letters written by the 1990 Zodiac indicated he somehow knew the Astrologi Cal signs of each of his four victims. The new letter makes no mention of astrology life the scientists said in a report released  at the american psychological association s annual Conven Tion. Birth complications associated with violence included Breech deliveries babies born with umbilical cords wrapped around their necks and even those injured during birth Raine said. Injuries were recorded at the time of birth by an obstetrician and a midwife though there was no obvious brain damage in any Case Raine said. Such birth complications can cause minor damage to prefrontal regions of the brain areas researchers believe control impulsive behaviour. Raine s analysis said brain injury alone did t seem to be a major Factor in predicting violent crime. But he said injury was a very Strong forecaster when combined with environmental factors such As maternal rejection and child abuse. Only 4.4 percent of the total Sample studied had both of the risk factors. But they accounted for 18 percent of All the violent crimes committed by the entire Sample of 4,269," Raine said. The study suggested better prenatal care could re Duce violent crime rates by 18 percent. Other studies have suggested that violence is linked to a brain chemical called serotonin but no tie has been established Between the chemical and life expert. Fences. The . Government is spending millions of Dol Lars annually on this research because some scientists believe a proclivity toward violence is linked to heredity. Bridge link to crime Whites say Camden .
