And just where does this "truth" come from?

Don't think so. It is an inference taken from crime statistics. The majority of serious crime is committed by young males under the age of twenty-five. By age 50 less than 2% of them commit crimes. It why you so rarely hear of 70 year olds arrested for rape, murder, or robbery. Spend a little time on www.fbi.gov and you might learn something.
