Title of Paper
There have been studies on the impacts of socioeconomic statuses (SES) across the nation and world for decades. There has yet to be concrete evidence in the studies conducted to pinpoint key factors such as crime rates, criminal recidivism and, intelligence or cognitive differences. It has yet to be researched in this country as to whether or not a family’s’ SES influences their intelligence quotient (IQ) and to what degree (higher or lower) that influence has on their IQ. There is also is a need for research to find if there is a correlation between the person’s intelligence level in different SES environments and if that person is more easily influenced into behavior that is deemed criminal based on a higher or lower IQ; …show more content…
Previous studies have shown, the lower a person’s SES environment, the higher probability there will be to have a lower IQ or cognitive behavior. Lower SES, put more stress on the family as a whole and has shown to lead to both disruptive behavior and difficulty for children to adapt to different environments they encounter throughout their adolescent years growing into adult-hood (Ackerman et al. 2003). Some of the co-factors that play in this can also be the adolescents living environment as they grow. Lower SES situations have proven to put more strain in the family dynamic, which in turn can lead to adolescents lashing out from early ages into teenage and even adult-hood. What has also been shown is that boys tend to externalize their behaviors more in different public settings than girls do. These behavior externalizations can lead to problems with verbal ability and even their learning …show more content…
The longitudinal studies that are conducted during these pivotal years have shown that IQ does not necessarity correlate with cognitive behavior. The maturation of teenagers into young adults despite SES backgrounds may play the biggest role in continued criminal behavior. Even though a young adult may be of higher intelligence despite having a low or high SES background can still mean they have a lower cognitive score that makes them more susceptible to suggestive actions. These actions can be in the areas or fighting, vandalism, gang activity, or criminal activity in general (Loeber et al.
