    Not exactly news, since it's from 2017, and not exactly news to me but more along the lines of, "Ha! I knew it!", an actual study has linked being a liberal to being a criminal. And the more liberal you are, the more criminal you are likely to be.

    There is apparent scholarly agreement that conservatives more strongly value social order, respect for authority, and social conformity and that conservatives are more religious, more conscientious, and demonstrate higher levels of self-control. These traits and values likely influence lifestyle choices in ways that better insulate conservatives against criminal behavior. Moreover, conservative narratives about “free will, personal responsibility, and morality[”] may gel into cognitive scripts that condemn criminal conduct as immoral and worthy of social sanctions.
