Abstract
A number of studies have reported that juvenile delinquency is negatively related to IQscores. The IQ/delinquency relation has been questioned on the basis of the differentialdetection confound, which attributes the apparent relation to biased likelihood of detection,and thus inclusion in research, of low-IQ delinquents. A direct test of the differentialdetection hypothesis was conducted by comparing the mean IQ scores of two groups of delinquentsubjects from the same birth cohort. Group 1 had been detected in delinquent acts by police.Group 2 was not known to police, but was equivalent to group 1 on amount and seriousness ofself-reported delinquency. The two groups did not differ significantly on IQ, but both groupsscored significantly below nondelinquent cohort members. Results were inconsistent with theprediction of group differences posed by the differential detection hypothesis.
