• Controlling Crime and Delinquency in the Schools (2005, background): “Research consistently shows that males are more likely than females to engage in crime and delinquency and that young males are the demographic group most likely to engage in malfeasant behavior (Kanazawa & Still, 2000; Messerschmidt, 1993; Sampson & Laub, 1993).”
• Why productivity fades with age: The crime–genius connection (2003, background): “Following Daly and Wilson (1988) and Kanazawa and Still (2000), I argue that a single psychological mechanism is responsible for making young men highly competitive during early adulthood and then quickly making them desist after their marriage in later adulthood.”
