The only real way to accomplish this, and I am not trying to be insensitive or elitist, is to prevent the occurrence of men with an IQ below 90. Almost all violent crimes are committed by men (regardless of race or sexual orientation) with an IQ between 75 and 90.
As for why this correlation exists, the most regarded explanation is:
> A final causal explanation links IQ to crime through school performance. Less intelligent students do less well in school, which results in academic frustration. This frustration, in turn, weakens their attachment and commitment to schooling, and a weakened bond to school, as per social control theory, allows for more criminal behavior (Hirschi and Hindelang). This school-performance hypothesis has received strong support from empirical studies, and it is probably the most widely accepted explanation of the IQ-crime correlation (Moffitt).
"Almost all," you say. Does the article have actual statistics?
Crime particularly the violent sort is mostly done by men between the ages of 15 and 35. Past that age and certainly by 45 they have spent so much of their lives in prison that they no longer feel they're smarter than other people who have jobs instead of stealing.
They also tend to be of a certain physical type; square-shouldered and flat-bellied.
But these are little more than stereotypes; smart people, older people, obese people commit crimes too.
I feel compelled to add that the world has less and less use for people with low IQs. A lot of work would have been automated by now without the need to keep the sub-100 people employed.
