IQ as a Protective Factor for Subjects at High Risk for Antisocial Behavior.

Kandel, Elizabeth; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v56 n2 p224-26 Apr 1988

Compared four groups of men from a Danish birth cohort: those at high risk for serious criminal involvement (with severely criminal fathers) who avoided and who evidenced serious criminal behavior, and those at low risk (with noncriminal fathers) who evidenced or did not evidence criminal behavior. Found the mean intelligence quotient score of the first group significantly higher. (Author/KS)
