[lbo-talk] ugly kids grow up to be criminals

[Jim Devine]

>These economists found that the long-term consequences of being young
and ugly were small but consistent. Cute guys were uniformly less
likely than averages would indicate to have committed seven crimes
including burglary and selling drugs, while the unhandsome were
consistently more likely to have broken the law.<

"cute" guys are more likely to take up white-collar crime, of course.
