When IQ is adjusted for, blacks still have a crime/violence rate 2 or 3 times higher than whites.
One factor may be the MAO-A gene (aka-the warrior gene). One variant of these gene has a frequency of 5 or 6 % in blacks and is very rare in whites and asians. This variant is associated with low levels of monoamine A neurotransmitter and high violence.
James Watson and others have also suggested that high melanin production itself is related to increased violence, sexual activity, and extroversion through the melanocortin system.
