For years, criminologists have studied the relationship between crime and below—average intelligence, concluding that offenders possess IQ scores 8—10 points below those of non—offenders. Little, however, is known about the criminal behavior of those with above—average IQ scores. This book provides some of the first empirical information about the self—reported crimes of people with genius—level IQ scores. Combining quantitative data from 72 different offenses with qualitative data from 44 follow—up interviews, this book describes the nature of high—IQ crime while shedding light on a population of offenders often ignored in research and sensationalized in media.
