Scholarly literature in the field of forensic psychology that examines the relationship between crime and gender, race, intellectual functioning, and education level among inmates in the United States is scarce. This study utilized multinomial logistic regression and split sample cross -- validation to examine the predictive relationship between gender, race, WRAT -- 4 reading scale scores, education level, and crime type among inmates incarcerated in the Georgia Department of Corrections in October of 2015. Proportional stratified random sampling was used to select a sample (n = 784) that reflected the strata of the GDOC dataset ( N = 30,290). The findings demonstrated a significant relationship between female offenders, race, education level and crime type that can be used to develop interventions, such as mandatory GED programs for first - time offenders that could reduce recidivism. Future research is needed to examine the psychosocial characteristics of inmates with a larger sample that would best accommodate the regression model, and would possibly reveal other important relationships between crime type and offender characteristics.
