If you read the last paragraph in the OP, you'll notice that officer has "appreciation" for their intelligence.

Being born into poverty provides a very limited means of social mobility, so joining a gang is often a rational, and intelligent, decision.

Low IQ also predicts criminality, but impulsivity also predicts dramatically lower IQ, so the arrow of causality is unknown. The people being convicted by the codebreaker are probably quite neurologically different than the average person.
