Race, Crime and Justice in America
The Color of Crime New Century Foundation Oakton, VA 22124 Second, Expanded Edition Major Findings • Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities. Crime Rates • Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. • When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife. • Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate. • The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic. Interracial Crime • Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. • Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black. • Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery. • Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa. Gangs • Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white. • Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely. Incarceration • Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million. • Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely. |

I would also like to add something for the "white males are the child molesters" crowd. According to the most recent FBI uniform crime statistics, white males are responsible for 48% of all sex crimes and black males are responsible for 48.1% of all sex crimes. Given the huge gap in total population percentage, I would say that black males lead the way by far. |

Just out of curiousity where did you get these statistics from? |
||||
It was in the post that you quoted: "Race, Crime and Justice in America The Color of Crime New Century Foundation Oakton, VA 22124" |
||||
That wasn't really called for, Joe. While we are all tired of the black crime rate, and I will agree with you that the prevalent "black" culture is largely responsible, We are all Homo Sapiens, so stick with the thread subject. |

That is uncouth and totally unnecessary. |

I agree! We don't have any black members and we love, caress, and care for our boys that we choose to spend time with. |

You are sick. There is nothing even remotely comical about pedophilia. |

The numbers are NOT wrong. They mirror virtually exactly the Justice Department and FBI crime statistics. Those stats are available online at the FBI and Justice Department sites, which are open to the public.

We have 2 million + people in prison today for drug related offenses. Prison only creates "better" criminals. So, I suspect those crime statistics will get much worse as more of these people are released into the general population.
It's not race that causes this criminality. If you incarcerated 1 in 4 white males in the prison system for mandatory sentences for smoking POT or METH!! You would see whites becoming much more violent as well.(Half of the people posting on here are probably getting high as we speak!) But, I definitely understand why people would want to say instead that crime is increasing because blacks are not human. It fits the notions you have already. So be it. I hope people start saying this more so we can finally address the evils of mandatory sentences for non-violent crimes. As you can see those laws are just destroying the black community, as they already have; they are starting to affect our whole society. I don't think you're racist at all, you're just ignorant. If white males were getting incarcerated at this rate for their drug use you would be up in arms claiming that its in human to treat people this way in America. But, people have turned a blind eye as this has happened to young black men. Even our President has done cocaine. He didn't have to spend his most productive years in prison for it. He got to attend Princeton instead! But, it okay that a young black person who I guess in your mind probably wouldn't amount to anything anyway spent those years locked away for the same offense. Give me a break..... Those statistics prove that the war on drugs has been a colossal failure. |

yeah scott people don't want to face the truth. that includes you. look at all the stats and it will tell you it is almost even. look at other statistics like workplace killings, poisionings, sex related killings, family killings, intimate killings, and yes, even gang related, whites lead in all of those catagories. your stats my not be wrong, but the way you report them are skewed to reflect what you want them to.
Still the highest crime numbers remain that the race of the offender and victim is the same. And while this is no excuse, alot of the violent crime commited by blacks are drug related. and all the numbers here show that you are more likely to be the victim of a friend as opposed to the victim of a stranger, so for all the white people out there afraid of blacks, or pointing out that blacks are the problem in this society, you need to make sure you lock you bedroom doors because you are more like to be killed by a family member than the black man sharing the elevator with you. if you want to know where i got my stats from here you go. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/homtrnd... |
