Here.
Thanks.
For those who did not click the link, the article asserts that (1) crime is often caused by irrational cognitive bias, (2) people with less intelligence show more cognitive bias.
(2) is an empirical claim that makes quite a bit of sense.
I'm not sure that (1) is a more important effect than classical economics accounts of crime. If you will starve unless you eat the seed corn, achieving goals that don't involve starving eventually are out of your reach regardless of how rational you are.
