Ouch.

Two economist have data showing the unattractive are more likely to commit crimes. It's amazing how even though we may not wish to judge people based on their appearances we do. This kind of cultural pressure is profound and unfortunate.

Not only are physically unattractive teenagers likely to be stay-at-homes on prom night, they're also more likely to grow up to be criminals, say two economists who tracked the life course of young people from high school through early adulthood.These economists found that the long-term consequences of being young and ugly were small but consistent.

Cute guys were uniformly less likely than averages would indicate to have committed seven crimes including burglary and selling drugs, while the unhandsome were consistently more likely to have broken the law. Very attractive high school girls were less likely to commit six of the seven crimes, while those rated unattractive were more likely to have done six of seven, controlling for personal and family characteristics known to be associated with criminal behavior.
