“3% of the population commits 58% of all murders, a majority of violent assaults and robberies.”

That would mean there are about 17 million murders a year.

There’s more like 16,000.

I think the reference to “3% of the population” refers to members of a specific age-race-sex group. I’ll let you fill in the blanks.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Black males between the ageas of 15-35 make up about 3% of the population and commit about 58% of all murders.
