Economist Steven Levitt and (Malcom) Gladwell have a running dispute about whether the fall in New York’s crime rate can be attributed to the actions of the police department (as claimed in The Tipping Point). In his book Freakonomics, Levitt attributes the decrease in crime to a decrease in the number of unwanted children because of Roe v. Wade.[18]
