TY - JOUR T1 - Multiple birth rates and racial type: a research note regarding r/K theory JF - Deviant Behavior Y1 - 2000 A1 - Scott Akins A1 - Griffin, Robert AB -

Recent work in the sociobiological study of deviance has suggested a link between r-selection traits, such as probabilities of multiple births, racial type, and criminality. This theory, however, failed to present any supporting evidence regarding the multiple birth-crime relationship. This paper tests a hypothesis derived from r/K theorization, that twinning rates will correspond to differential crime rates by racial type. Further, a number of additional variables are discussed that may prove suitable for future study.
