Hang on there. That study concerned IQ and involvement in acts violence, not general education nor exposure to lifetime violence.

Regarding involvement in violence, I would wager single motherhood, abusive childhoods, and genetics. See below.

Regarding IQ, I can't really hazard a guess as to what's the strongest indicator. There are many environmental and genetic factors there.

IIRC, there is a .8 or .9 correlation between divorce rates and violent crime based on per-city census bureau & fbi data (I forget the specifics). That's higher than correlation with either poverty rate, unemployment rate, or black population, which were all sub .5 correlation coefficient. If it's important I can try to dig up the source.
