Abstract
THIS investigation is primarily an inquiry into the relation between crime and intelligence. But the bearing upon crime of other variables such as age, height, weight, nativity, educational record and employment is also taken into account. The subjects are 4,748 males at the Illinois State Reformatory, 5,512 males at the Illinois State Penitentiary and 153 penitentiary females. The research was carried out over a period of seven years.
