"These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region," the FBI said. "Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents."
Meaning, they might lead people to the obvious conclusion that rather than a "crime" problem, we actually have a "young urban black male" problem?
Facts, we don’t need no stinking facts.
