Recent studies show that if children are exposed to lead even from the embryonic period, the possibility of delinquent acts in them will be higher in adulthood.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, researchers from the University of Washington found in their studies that the presence of the toxic metal lead in children’s bodies is related to criminal activities in adulthood. In addition to childhood, this connection with lead can also happen during the fetal period.
Dr. Maria Jose, one of the senior researchers in this study, says: Children and infants have a permeable blood barrier and their bodies are not capable of absorbing or burning lead. Therefore, due to the body system that is constantly growing, they receive the negative effects of lead more than adults. In this study, the relationship between receiving lead and performing delinquent behaviors has been identified.
The researchers’ findings were based on the review of 17 previous studies, which show that exposure to lead causes heart and kidney diseases, nervous system dysfunction, and reproductive problems. In previous researches, exposure to lead and its relationship with the occurrence of criminal behavior at the community level were identified. However, the researchers consider these findings to require further investigation at the individual and social level.
