freakonomics

The Wall Street Journal reports an economist has found an error in Steven Levitt's abortion/crime analysis as described in Freakonomics, although Levitt claims the error doesn't undermine his conclusion. The most famous study in Freakonomics concludes that the foremost cause of the drastic crime rate drop since the mid-90's was the federal legalization of abortion in the early 70's, postulating that unwanted children are more likely to commit crimes.
