It may well be - crime statistics are obviously VERY complex, and nobody has a firm grasp on the root causes of criminal behavior.
Still though, the correlation is interesting at worst.
This, though, I agree with completely:

Similarly, using anything other than viability to define what constitutes a 'person' really relies on some sort of God-imbued "spirit" or other, similar source of human-hood, something that creates a very difficult situation for basis of law.
