“’The aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his [or her] environment (Matarazzo),’” defines intelligence by David Wechsler. Hence, the Jealousy theory is established to propose the relation between low IQ and criminal behavior of an individual. Furthermore, biological and sociological factors contributes to the relation between low IQ and criminal behavior. Biological factors include the inherited genetic genes that is passed down from the parents that makes one’s IQ high or low. Sociological factors include the environment that the individual is brought up from that influences that individual’s intellectuals. Thus, with biological and sociological factors as mentioned,

Making and breaking one is predetermined in the sociological factors of the individuals up bringing—the positive and negative influences. For example, if the individual with either low or high IQ is brought up in a loving and considerate family that values education, and is willing to teach and learn from one another, even when there is failure involved, the chances of heading towards criminal behavior is limited. Thus, if the sociological component of a negative environment and unsupportive family that looks down upon failure or no failure the chances are that the individual will result in criminal behavior because of the lack of support. Equally, the lack of support is damaging towards the individual whose mindset is set towards their own self-worth being judged upon themselves and …show more content…
It just isn’t logic to connect the two, and say because of one’s IQ, especially low IQ, one is looking towards criminal behavior. Hence, it is troublesome to say the least that not all low IQ individual is heading towards criminal behavior; because of the numerous sociological activities that can take place in one’s life, rather it is positive or negative. That is the issue when we are stereotyping that crime is prone to occur in this particular group—IQ—even more the low IQ group than a high IQ. When this occurs we are labeling them as said the Labeling theory—labeling people as criminal amounts to a self-fulfilling prophecy—hence, if we are labeling them as a criminal whose IQ has to do with committing crime, than why not? Why not commit crime to prove oneself that because of an IQ statement we should commit crimes. Altogether, the topic of connecting IQ and crime is prone to be controversial because of the judgement of saying that all low IQ or IQ in general is prone to committing crimes. In conclusion, connecting IQ and crime can be a Jealousy theory because of one’s biological and sociological factors that intertwines with one another. Striking at the very least of the hatred or jealousy towards another. Making biological and sociological factors a key component in detailing the genetic genes inherited, and the environment that one is brought up from. Lastly,
