This is an interesting article -- In Western society we really do not have much contact with those who practice a polygamous lifestyle, but the fact that evidence shows that there is a reduced rate in crime for monogamous societies is not a shock. It seems that anywhere oppressive measures are lifted and civil rights are implemented the rates for crime often lower. This would also be the case for polygamous societies that are starting to negatively sanction "multiple wives/husbands." In my discussions about polygamy, I have never taken a supportive stance to the suppression of gender equality -- this finding comes as no surprise to me! |
