However, a connection was found between school competence and the fact of living in a socially disadvantaged neighborhood on the one hand and subsequent crime on the other. As a result, it is the social factors that determine possible later criminality and not intelligence.

Another study, in which 1,725 young people aged 10 years or older were examined, deals with the same topic. This is a longitudinal study that was started in 1979. Here, too, it was shown that the effect of intelligence on criminal behavior is only very indirectly present. Intelligence acts as an important criminogenic factor where it contributes to low school achievement, which in turn is the reason for the probability of starting a criminal career.
