I just put in a perfunctory response, but I could use some supporting arguments...

Just so you know, John Lott's theories have been discredited by most of mainstream criminology. He's a political partisan hack, who even went so far as to create the identity of a supporter of his work (i.e. Mary Rosh) just so he could have someone other than himself backing up his assertions.
You may not be a criminologist. Or even a social scientist. But at least bother to do the bare minimum and read the wikipedia article before you go spouting off nonsense that "research has shown x or y".
