From Brian Horton
Your review of Adrian Raine’s book The Anatomy of Violence claimed that potential criminals can be detected at a young age by their low heartbeat, combined with a fearless, risk-taking personality (13 April, p 46). This sounds like a description of people who excel in sport.
However, rather than locking up all the top athletes, perhaps we can make a special effort to support them during, and especially after, they end their sporting careers, in order to protect them from turning to a life of crime!
