Study: Nearly half of all black males are arrested by age 23
The Daily Caller ^ | 1/6/14 | Caroline May

A new study released Monday found that nearly half of all black males and almost 40 percent of white males are arrested by the time they are 23-years old.

The analysis of national data from 1997 to 2008 of teenagers and young adults’ arrest histories — excluding traffic violations — were published Monday in the journal of Crime & Delinquency.

While there was variation in the rate of arrest between black and white men, there was little racial variation in the arrest rates among women of different races.

Probably not the “dream” MLK was thinking of.

“A difference of a mere 10%.”

Not to split hairs, but isn’t the difference 20%?

It’s obvious we are losing the war on black crime so now is the time to legalize it.

“White” including mestizo? Otherwise, I don’t believe it.

BINGO! That is the trick those commies in the DoJ do with the numbers. They lump the Spanish types in with the whites when reporting the perpetrators of crime and those arrested yet they break them out in the statistics for victims.

I was arrested for a prank, a run-in with a bad cop, and in a piss skirmish at Mardi Gras (I was sticking up for a friend peeing at 2am because there were no bathrooms), all in my late teens early 20s. I don’t know the percentage of middle class whites from good homes and private schools that have done as I have, so I don’t know what to make of this general statistic. I would proceed with caution.

What demographics are included in the white sample (Hispanic Whites etc?) Because if it the old defninition of white then there has been quite a statistical jump in the last 5 years? Are almost half of young men getting arrested because everything is illegal now or what?

Is getting busted a rite of passage in the ghetto?

Hell raising become a rite of passage maybe? Wonder how much of this is tied to frats.

here’s more specific breakdown which seems to indicate that white category is what was originally the old standard for white and Hispanic is a separate category. Really has been a jump lately. Text indicates that minor charges (not traffic) like truancy are included as well as major crime.
By age 18, 30 percent of black males, 26 percent of Hispanic males and 22 percent of white males have been arrested.

By age 23, 38% of white males, 49% of black males, 44% of Hispanic males have been arrested.

from the comments section:

“Howard Galt (BigDeadlift)

Super User · 74 Fans · Taxes Are Evil
There appears to be something bogus on the face about either this study or the way the figures are being reported. I have been looking at criminal justice data for almost 30 years and the figures reported here 8 to 10 times figures I have seen anywhere else. In the jurisdiction I reside, about 1.5% of people are currently involved in the criminal justice system. I have seen figures between 3% to 5% as the percentage of people that will EVER be involved in the system. Our local jail system currently books about 45,000 people per year out of a population of 4 million. That means about 1% of people are getting arrested in a given year and my county is considered to have one of the highest incarceration rates in the United States. If about 1/3 of people (the number including females) are being arrested by age 23, you would expect an arrest rate closer to 5% per year and a total number of people ever involved in the system of closer to 30%.

white men include hispanics classified this way to inflate the number.

Yes. The data will be adjusted until a politically correct result is obtained.
