Crime and IQ<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n

When we think of crime we are quick to automatically associate it with biological factors such as race, gender, or hereditary backgrounds and physical factors like socioeconomic status. But there is one factor that some scholars and researchers have come to believe is the biggest reason behind crime; the amount committed and who is responsible for committing them. A criminal\u2019s Intelligence is the reason behind crime. The idea of studying a person\u2019s mind in association to crime first appeared in the early 1900\u2019s with the notion that criminal offenders were both feeble minded and mentally deficient. It wasn\u2019t until the mid-1970\u2019s that a person\u2019s Intelligence Quotient could be considered a probable cause in the recent increase of crime rates. The problem with this idea is that many researchers believe and hold account to the notion that those who have a low IQ score are more likely to commit a crime than people who have a higher IQ. Scholars and researchers when deciding this notion fail to consider one little thing that matters. They do not take into consideration a person\u2019s psychological state when determining their IQ. How can a person\u2019s Intelligence Quotient be a factor alone when you must take in account their mental stability? When it comes to linking crime with IQ, a person\u2019s level of intelligence is not the main factor in how much crime is committed and who commits it.<\/p>\n

ABOUT ME<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Hello! My name is Destan\u00e9 cherry and I am passionate about criminal justice reform, juvenile justice issues, and public policy. My career and academic goals are to graduate from graduate school with a master’s in public administration and from law school with a juris doctorate, focusing in criminal law and juvenile law. I would like to become a prosecutor working to make sure that before delinquents face a court room, something else can be done to help keep them out of the system. Maintaining justice and ensuring those who are innocent does not just happen with the defense attorney but starts with prosecutors actually taking a step back and working for the people.<\/p>\n

I am studying Justice and Law with a concentration in criminal justice at American University in Washington, DC. Along with my bachelor’s degree I am working towards a minor in Japanese language, as well as certificates in the School of Public Affairs Leadership program and the Women and Politics Institute: Politics, Policy, and Leadership program. On campus I am a member of the student conduct council within the office of campus life and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
