The study also found that the average IQ for African Americans was lower than those for Latino‚ White‚ Asian‚ and Jewish Americans (85‚ 89‚ 103‚ 106‚ and 113‚ respectively; Herrnstein & Murray‚ 1994‚ pp. 273–278).

In fact‚ some evidences suggest that there is a correlation between IQ and crime: groups with lower average IQ’s are likely to commit more crimes than those with higher IQ’s because “the relationship depends on the capability of the criminal to assess the degree of risk involved in committing a criminal act at
