Have her check her figures. You will find that the reason for the crime-minority correlation was that there were fewer conservatives in the good old days in the 60's. No one who makes a living analyzing social developments believes that correlation equals causation.

MikeH, perhaps your wife could do another study - one that compares the 30s with the 60s would be of interest, and might give you a different view.
