According to Peskin et al. (2013) in our course reader, “Studies on early health risk factors, including prenatal nicotine/alcohol exposure, birth complications, and minor physical anomalies have found that these risk factors significantly increase the likelihood of anti-social and criminal behavior throughout life.” What policy changes might you suggest to help curtail the occurrence or effects of these risk factors? Remember to think about public health policy, not just criminal policy.
