Guess the Perps Race
2013-08-23
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.

Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher.

The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.

#3  It still boils down to less than 5% of the population is committing over 50% of the murders.

Why don't the poor white people of the Ozarks and Appalachia have these kind of stats?

#2  What is the ratio of violence in poor neighborhoods vs. middle class? I seem to recall from West Side Story snd reeading about the poor aras of London and the immigrant neighborhoods of New York City that severe amd frequent violence was a common feature of all the denizens.

And how does the violence level of poor blacks compare to that of middle class blacks? Not to mention a similar comparison of whites in both situations?

#1  Stop and Frisk: I wonder if the NYPD will merely clocked in and clock out and half-hardheartedly police those neighborhood and tell complainants, "Gee, we've filled our quota of arrests in this neighborhood already and I certainly don't want to be labeled a racist for profiling...call Sharpton".
