For example..."What do you mean by this?"<br /><br />For example, blacks are <a href="http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.html" rel="nofollow">imprisoned</a> for rape at around 3 times the white level, but are imprisoned for robbery at 15 the white rate and for drug offenses at 12 times the white rate.<br /><br />"Even H&M couldn't replicate his absurdly high figures."<br /><br />They found the black-white difference in the measure of criminality available to them "was reduced by almost three-quarters when IQ was taken into account".<br /><br />Other factors no doubt contribute, but the intelligence gap explains most of the difference. The factors that explain asian-white and hispanic-white differences in crime are not necessarily identical to those that explain black-white differences. E.g., whites and blacks have similar body size, while Hispanics and Asians are smaller on average.n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378473351485233448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-46658752908202295912010-07-06T15:41:34.845+01:002010-07-06T15:41:34.845+01:00"I've also previously observed that black..."I've also previously observed that black-white multiples for brawling and raping are low compared to those for crimes like car theft, drug dealing, and mugging, consistent the idea that a lack of intelligence leading to ill-considered efforts at resource acquisition rather than greater innate aggressiveness underlies the difference."<br /><br />What do you mean by this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-41191641401257595532010-07-06T15:37:41.408+01:002010-07-06T15:37:41.408+01:00Also, Robert Gordon's figures are total bullsh...Also, Robert Gordon's figures are total bullshit in face of how modern neuroscience has uncovered many biochemicals and brain structures that affect criminality that work independently of brain structures that affect IQ.<br /><br />Even H&M couldn't replicate his absurdly high figures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-54297492498172163762010-07-06T15:34:50.520+01:002010-07-06T15:34:50.520+01:00I found it ironic how in Crime and Human Nature, t...I found it ironic how in Crime and Human Nature, they mention the ultra-low incarceration rate of the chinese in the US prior to the 60's immigration act, yet the IQ's of east asians was actually below that of whites in the US. 2 points lower, but should have led them to having more people in prison than just 5.<br /><br />Their verbal IQ's were considerably lower too, and they try to implicate those strongly in crime.<br /><br />Nevermind how hispanics have a crime rate less than half of blacks yet IQ's only modestly higher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-42917795714566903712010-07-04T05:52:46.194+01:002010-07-04T05:52:46.194+01:00In chapter 16 they say there is substantial eviden...In chapter 16 they say there is substantial evidence for the effects of being first-born (aside from merely size of family).

I'm flipping through <i>Crime and Human Nature</i> right now to refresh my memory, and they don't seem to come down too hard in any particular direction (I did just come across some information I'll add to this post).

Richard Lynn writes <a href="http://www.amren.com/ar/2002/07/#cover" rel="nofollow">that</a>:<br /><br />“Nevertheless, as Charles Murray and the late Richard Herrnstein showed in their book The Bell Curve, low IQ cannot entirely explain a black crime rate that is six-and-a-half times the white rate. When blacks and whites are matched for IQ, blacks still commit crimes at two-and-a-half times the white rate. This shows that blacks must have some other characteristic, besides low intelligence, that explains their high levels of criminality.”<br /><br />And then there’s <a href="http://www.amren.com/ar/1995/04/index.html#cover" rel="nofollow">also</a> <a href="http://www.amren.com/ar/1995/06/index.html#article1" rel="nofollow">this</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
