IQ and Crime: Dull Behavior and/or Misspecified Theory?
Van Brunschot, Erin Gibbs; Brannigan, Augustine
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p316-21 Sep 1995
In response to "The Bell Curve," notes that the effects of IQ on crime and delinquency are mediated by gender and age in a fashion that is not readily explained by a reduction to genetic differences. Discusses possible interrelationships among IQ, delinquency, and school performance, and suggests that the causal link between IQ and delinquency may be spurious. (SV)
