“Perhaps if it was enough hassle to the rest of the community, peer pressure would bring the race/crime stats back into the norm.”

I think it already IS a hassle to the rest of the community.
I read a study once that indicated law-abiding inner city blacks were among the staunchest proponents of racial-profiling to eliminate crime in their neighborhoods. These folks know good and well that it is not white kids from the suburbs causing havoc in the ‘hood.
Yes, peer pressure would be great, but the actual demographic that would be ideal to implement this, strong young to middle-aged males, by their absence from the black nuclear family, are the very cause of this cultural problem in the first place.
They are absent because of gov’t policy, and I believe that it’s intentional.
The gov’t pays women to have kids without a father around.
