THE criminal characteristics of fifty delinquent boys of superior intelligence were compared with those of a control series of delinquents of average intelligence. The delinquency records of the two groups were similar in terms of numbers of previous convictions. The bright boys made their first-ever court appearance at a later age. There were no inter-group differences in choice of offences, but more high-IQ boys committed offences which seemed to be psychologically determined. The bright boys were treated more leniently by the courts
