I am aware that many point to a statistical relationship between those with low IQ and increased probability of committing crime, and I acknowledge the correlation, though I am skeptical that this indicates causation. It may not be that low IQ causes crime, instead, it may be that a low IQ makes it hard or even impossible to succeed and gain social status, and low status males are more likely to commit crime.
For instance, if it were somehow the case that high IQ resulted in an inability to succeed in society and economy, this would result in low social and economic status. That trapped and helpless feeling ferments, and frustration may cause a statistical increase in probability of committing crime, correlated to high IQ people. But the correlation would not equal causation.
Low social status and frustration with inability to do anything to change it, is more likely the cause of statistical increases in probability to commit crime, than the low IQ itself. Low IQ indicates only a diminished inductive capacity.
To treat low IQ people as if they are already guilty of some crime. Or that they are so likely to commit crime that they cannot be granted autonomy, is, in my view, an unethical inference from the data.
