Crime, a short story, non-fiction pun intended

No, literally, according to some forensic scientists. They wonder if, after "controlling" for things like family and neighborhood poverty, if things like short stature or extra weight, which do, unfortunately, affect one's career growth chances, don't then, in reverse, perhaps nudge some people into crime.

It's possible, I suppose; but, how much of a "bump" is it, and how much does it vary from person to person. Is this at risk of being Evolutionary Psychology-Beauty, a subset of Pop Ev Psych?
