Are adults and elders as violent as adolescents?

[Hopper7xu]

Would adults and elders be just as violent and unruly as adolescents if adults and elders won't have to go to jail for getting violent?

[normalice]

No. The older people get the more aware they are of the dangers involved in getting violent. This is why guns are so popular among old people in the US - so they can still shoot anyone who upsets them without needing to worry about throwing their back out or whatever..

Violent behavior tends to decrease with age, at least in men.

[Hopper7xu]

Why?

[slatyb]

Less testosterone and a more mature brain.

Great question, but personally, I think time is one of the few things that may dull my edge.

[Avicenna]

No, possibly due to lower testosterone levels
