Intelligence and Adolescent Theft

A Multiple Indicator Solution

Roy L. Austin

Pennsylvania State University

Recently, Hirschi and Hindelang (1977) presented compelling arguments against the contemporary textbook position rejecting intelligence as an important cause of criminal behavior. They proposed a causal model in which IQ is linked to delinquency by a set of school-related variables. Costner's multiple indicator procedure was used to examine this model and the environmental influence argument against prior findings of a significant relationship between intelligence and delinquency. A model with teacher appeal intervening between intelligence and adolescent theft is supported, while the absence of differential bias discredits the environmental argument.
