For years, criminologists have studied the relationship between crime and belowaverage intelligence, concluding that offenders possess IQ scores 810 points below those of nonoffenders. Little, however, is known about the criminal behavior of those with aboveaverage IQ scores. This book provides some of the first empirical information about the selfreported crimes of people with geniuslevel IQ scores. Combining quantitative data from 72 different offenses with qualitative data from 44 followup interviews, this book describes the nature of highIQ crime while shedding light on a population of offenders often ignored in research and sensationalized in media.
