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?
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.
