Researchers are re-examining potential crime-breeding factors, from the role of abortions in poor communities theoretically preventing criminals being born to the spread of more lethal weapons. Only those researchers who haven't looked at demographics recently. Crime rates regularly follow birth rates with about a twenty year delay. The reductions followed the decrease in births among the majority in the 60's, the increase is now following the high reproductive rate among the new majority.
No real surprise. Youths are more violent than seniors and poorly educated, poorly parented, kids are more violent than well educated, well raised kids. The demographics explain about 75 percent of the increase, and the more or less complete collapse of the American culture of responsibility and self-reliance makes up the rest of it.

I will say this, whenever I turn on the news and they have arrest someone for a newsworthy (really bad) crime, it is almost always a black and not an illegal.

And you think that the left, ie. the media will report illegal alien crime? They are their biggest supporters.

THERE were five teenagers in the car rolling quietly through the muggy night an hour before dawn in central New Orleans. By the time the police caught up with them last weekend, they were all dead riddled with bullets in the worst outbreak of gun violence since Hurricane Katrina devastated the city last year Wait a minute. Central New Orleans is an "exurb"???

Wait - I think I get it. The Brit view is that NY is "The City", and NOLA, Buffulo, etc. are "exurbs."
Wonder if this guy has ever left his tiny little island?
