INTELIGENCE A AGRESIVITA PACHATELŮ MAJETKOVÉ TRESTNÉ ČINNOSTI.

The research study introduces results on intelligence and aggression of property offenders. The research took place in 19 prisons in Czech Republic. The sample consists of 166 offenders, who have been incarcerated at least for second time. The offenders completed intelligence test (Raven progressive matrices) and aggression test (Hand test). The results of the intelligence test indicate that offenders, who are more likely to make type B fault (faulty principle), commit more often also violent offenses. The results of aggression test include only slightly higher number of „aggressive" answers, which was opposed to the predictions. The offenders showed prosocial attitudes and interests in interpersonal region and slightly higher levels in pathological scores. The results cannot be taken as simple generalisations for entire population of property offenders. It is necessary to take into account the possibility that the offenders of unsolved crimes can differ in intelligence and aggression from incarcerated offenders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
