Goring gives a table which shows what crimes are most likely to be committed by deficients. He found that 10% of the convicts in England and Wales were definitely treated in prison as deficient, and he estimated that 0.5% of the non-criminal population were equally deficient. His table is based upon the tabulation of 8,290 crimes past and present of 948 English convicts (Fig. XXXIX, p. 258). It is given below: TABLE XVII.
