智商和青少年犯罪之间的反比关系已经得到了很好的确立，但影响的方向仍有待明确。不同的解释说明的关系进行了实证研究，在本研究中使用的数据对13岁的男孩参与高风险的纵向研究。帐户解释的关系为虚假的或假设，犯罪相关的因素导致低智商分数没有得到支持，调查结果是最一致的假设，即影响的方向运行从低智商的犯罪智商犯罪的关系是强大的种族，阶级，并观察到的测试动机进行统计控制。此外，智商的影响是介导的学校表现的黑人青年，但不是白色青年。
An inverse relation between IQ and delinquency has been well established, but the direction of effect remains to be specified. Differing explanatory accounts of the relation were empirically examined in the present study using data on 13-year-old boys involved in a high-risk longitudinal study. Accounts that interpreted the relation as spurious or that posited that delinquency-related factors lead to low IQ scores received no support; findings were most consistent with the hypothesis that the direction of effect runs from low IQ to delinquency The IQ-delinquency relation was robust after race, class, and observed test motivation were controlled statistically. Additionally, the effect of IQ was mediated by school performance for Black youth but not for White youth.
