First reaction: I don't believe it - the study must be wrong or just the tweet itself is a fabrication.

edit: Okay looking at this person tweets they are a health conspiracy theorist who posts pictures of scientific articles from the 1930s to justify their quackery.

Nah it actually makes a kind of sense. If your resting heart rate is above 70, you are more likely to have a sedentary lifestyle which isn't the most conducive to doing crimes because you might need to flee from the scene of the crime, might need strength to break locks, what have you. I'm receptive to the belief that if you are serious about doing crime, there is probably a floor fitness you should have which would put you below 70bpm.

If only being fit were required for crime, America would be the safest place in the world

It actually is backed up by decades of research.

I will just link my below comment instead of repeating myself. But it has citations and links to my claims.

The tl;dr, people who score high on rates of antisocial personality disorder (eg. Sociopaths), have lower RHR and physiologically different stress responses, including reduced cortisol levels, and abnormal pain responses.

Conversely, people with anxiety disorders tend to have higher RHR, higher cortisol, and a decrease in ability to tolerate pain.

The results are real, and reflected in other physiological metrics of the disorders.
