The article is on Prevention of Crime. It is the musings of a
breastfeeding clinic doctor with some support from the literature.
For example, it is known that poor performance in school is associated
with an increased incidence of crime. There is also evidence that
breastfed babies do better in school (when controlled for
socioeconomic factors etc). Thus, there could be a relationship.
Anyhow, the essay was not written about preventing child abuse.
