As Jon stated, there is clear evidence that lead exposure in childhood
has numerous results, including personality changes and lower IQ.
Studies of violent criminals have shown higher total lead levels then
the general population. Whether or not this is related to lead being
removed from gasoline is going to be more difficult to prove. Other area
in our society had lead concentrations removed at the same time -
paints, toys, etc.
This is similar to the old argument that crime decreased because of
legalized abortions, awful hard to prove one contributed to the other.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
