I think most criminals are dumb. Quick google search shows average IQ of a criminal is 85.

Average IQ of all criminals, or criminals that got caught?

It must just be the ones who got caught. If they weren't caught how can anyone be sure they were a criminal?

Honestly though they might as well just use the average IQ for the population. There's not a person alive who hasn't violated some law at some point. We're all criminals.

Probably not directly related, but mainly due to fewer opportunities. This is one of the reasons I strongly agree with universal basic income. The capitalistic game is harder than many people are capable of playing. They shouldn't have to suffer enormously because of that, and neither should society. Otherwise, should we assert that ethics are inherently easier for some people, yet penalize all people the same regardless of their capacities?
