which evidence would support an argument that low birthrates lead to decreased crime?
a. survey data revealing americans ideal family size over time
b. a textbook describing the baby boom of the 1950s
c. a government website providing data of crime statistics by year
d. a blog entry describing one persons thoughts on crime rates

Explanation:

To support the argument that low birthrates lead to decreased crime, we need data on both birth - rates and crime rates over time. Option A only gives data on ideal family size, Option B is about a historical baby - boom and not relevant to the relationship between birthrates and crime currently, and Option D is just one person's opinion. Option C provides crime statistics by year which can be correlated with birthrate data to test the argument.

Answer:

C. A government website providing data of crime statistics by year
