I once saw a stat on this site that took my breath away.
If you took out black and hispanic crime verses only white
crime compared to only the white population. There was
virtually no crime in the country.

The only thing I notice about the perps on COPS is that they are all living in Florida.

It's impossible to fully disambiguate, but the implications of the data are interesting.

Could you repost your point. I, and many others I assume, didn’t get what you were factoring out of and into your statistics.

Yes, crime is mostly cultural. If you want to predict the crime rates of a particular group in America, look at the crime rates of the country that they or their ancestors came from. You will find that they are very close.

As an example, homicide rates are some of the most accurate statistics that we can track, so they bypass a lot of error producing problems with gathering and reporting statistics. The rate of homicides of Japanese Americans is slightly lower than the rate of Japanese in Japan, which is quite low indeed.

A lot of crimes are black-on-black. Young black males are the most likely to be a victim of murder. Black male unemployment is at a 40 year high.

I agree due to the obviousness of your post. I have read that white people as a group are more law-abing than the best-behaved country in Europe.
