@StuartJRitchie@JamesPsychol thats interesting - how does the graph look for fraud and other white collar crime? -
@RichardWiseman@JamesPsychol I wondered this too - any data on white-collar crime,@schwartz_j? -
@StuartJRitchie@RichardWiseman@schwartz_j Assumed it was covered under "any crime" -
@JamesPsychol@StuartJRitchie@RichardWiseman@schwartz_j There is also the fact that Finland is almost completely one ethnic group. - View other replies

@Paradigmian@JamesPsychol@RichardWiseman@schwartz_j White *collar*, nothing to do with race! -
@StuartJRitchie@JamesPsychol@RichardWiseman@schwartz_j I think it has, but what I meant is diversity makes for groups loyal to their own. -
@Paradigmian@JamesPsychol@RichardWiseman@schwartz_j Haha, sure. I thought maybe you misread.

@StuartJRitchie@schwartz_j (haven't read the paper) is it a measure of offending or conviction? -
@gimpyblog@schwartz_j Ding! I was waiting for that response and had this paper ready to go: http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/abn/97/3/330/ … -
@StuartJRitchie@schwartz_j so smart people can't outwit the police any more than stupid people? -
@gimpyblog Not according to that paper. But@schwartz_j does acknowledge it's a limitation! -
@StuartJRitchie@schwartz_j it does beg questions of the police, if they can catch smart criminals, why are bankers not in prison, etc...

@StuartJRitchie@AndrewSabisky ah, but the really clever ones don't get caught -
@deevybee@AndrewSabisky Interestingly, not according to Terrie Moffitt's research! http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/abn/97/3/330/ …

@StuartJRitchie@brainsturbator@schwartz_j except corporations don't have IQs & their shareholders don't convicted -
@MrSeacrudge Aye, that's the joke: Selection Bias. Only fucktards get caught. -
@brainsturbator probably helps to be poor, nonwhite, and honest as well, but I suppose that falls under "IQ" -
@MrSeacrudge how dare you mock NRx facts? IT IS STATISTICS and narrative

@StuartJRitchie@schwartz_j I hope those little trend reversals at the min and max are real and not illusory
