Blacks are 13% of the population yet they commit over 50% of the violent crime in the U.S.

Your demographic includes males and females from newborns to 16 year old and the elderly who have aged out of committing crime.

Try this:

Black males between 17-44 are about 3% of the population yet they commit over 50% of the violent crime in the U.S.
