Doctor Believes Physical Causes Behind Crime
Washington July 19 A young San Francisco physician Dr Ralph A Reynolds told President Hoover s law enforcement commission that crime stems from chemical or physical malformation of bodies. He cited a gland dysfunction as cause of antisocial behavior and urged extending his research to several states to support a final report.

He gave an example of an 11 year old girl with adult physical traits due to gland issues and trouble resulting from her condition.
