You are on something, but I have better numbers:
 99.9% of all criminals wear shoes while committing their crimes,
obviously shoes makes people criminal.

So forcing people to go bare foot would reduce criminality, as any
new-age guru could be able to assert.

 100% (yes, 100%) of all criminals had a head while committing their
crimes, so beheading people would make criminality a legend of the past.
It's just that simple. And it worked on the mars planet!
