What is it's cause in your view?

A combination of low IQ and the fact the the political will to properly police black neighborhoods doesn't exist due to the type of "anti-racism" you support.

How does low IQ directly cause crime?

See any criminology textbook. Low IQ is a strong predictor of criminal behavior.

Why? This is more specuative

  1. Inability to forsee consequences of actions.

  2. Opportunity cost is lower - if you have a good chance to enjoy a good income through talent and hard work, then the alternative is less appealing.

  3. Low IQ people are more likely to be at Kegan Development Level 2, which impairs empathy.
