Do you agree that between crime and punishment it is mainly a battle of wits?    

Answer:

Between crime and punishment, it is mainly a battle of wits. Courts have become battlegrounds of sophistry, hyperbole, and obfuscation. This is the reason why seasoned criminals, taking advantage of the situation, go unpunished. There is a relationship between intelligence and crime.  Criminals are generally thought to be dumb, with FQs averaging eight points below normal. Those, of course, are the criminals who get caught. Little is known about genius criminals, the lawbreakers with IQs of 132 or more, the ones who get away. They are able to commit their offenses with the same acumen and intellect that they bring to bear in other areas of their livers, which makes them very dangerous. As in the story, Evans is a kleptomaniac but manages to outsmart the entire team of police officers. So much so that he is escorted out by the men in uniform, arrested, confesses, and yet minutes later, he is out again. His plan is brilliant and his tactics ingenious such as getting his friends to masquerade as a German teacher and as an invigilator, concealing blood in a rubber ring, getting directions through the means of a question paper, and the correction to the paper. He manages to outwit the entire police force.
