It's not a good thing, but if woman who are more likely to produce criminals, due to the enviroment their children are raised in, decide to have abortions, it makes sense that the crime rate will go down. Another way for the crime rate to have gone down, would be if these women chose to place their children into adoption, which didn't happen. When Roe vs Wade was inacted in 1973 approx. 8% of premarital births were placed into adoption, by 1995 it was 2%. From these statistics we could theorize that not only did Roe vs Wade, lead to a decrease in crime, it also led to a decrease in adoption.
