Conversely: in humans, intelligence is inversely correlated with crime.
It doesn't go to zero, however!

If you're measuring the intelligence of criminals who have been caught, why would you expect it to be otherwise?
IOW, you're recording the intelligence of a specific subset of criminals - those dumb enough to be caught!
If you expand your samples to all criminals you'd probably get a different number.
If you're smart enough you just use the laws as written to get what you want, or change them.

It very much depends on the crime. The truly awful stuff is committed by intelligent people.
Is that actually well defined given the very low sample size at the top?
To the best of my knowledge, none of the individuals believed to have an IQ >200 have committed an actual crime.
The closest I found is William James Sidis's arrest for participating in a socialist march.
