It is a fact that the arrest rates for violent crime are heavily skewed by race. For example, the arrest rate for murder among black men is 18.1 times higher per 100,000 population in NYC versus white men. The same figure in Washington DC is 84.9 times higher.
Can we agree that there is a massive skew?
Is your position that this is purely socioeconomic? Is it purely the effect of racist policing? Is it purely cultural?
There are more poor white people than poor black people in the nation.
Can we simply not consider this question because it is racist? What’s your hypothesis?
