Scientific Research:

Increased Positivity, Decreased Crime

The results show that 24 cities in which 1% of the population had been instructed in the Transcendental Meditation programme by 1972 displayed decreased crime rates during the next year (1973) and decreased crime rate trends during subsequent years (1972 1977) in comparison to 1967 1972, in contrast to control cities matched for geographic region, population, college population, and crime rate.
