Blacks are so much more likely than Americans of other races to commit crimes that police may be justified in stopping and questioning them more frequently - just as they stop men more often than women and young people more often than old people. These are some of the controversial findings of a new think tank report based on extensive cross-analysis of government crime statistics. The study finds that Asians consistently commit the smallest number of crimes, followed by whites. Hispanics commit violent crime at approximately three times the white rate, and blacks are five to eight times more violent. In one of its most startling conclusions the report finds that blacks are as much more violent than whites as men are more violent than women.
Police quickly learn who the bad guys are.
When there is a murder they don't look for little old ladies. They look for young men - unfortunately, they are often justified in looking for young black men. When blacks commit violent crime they target whites slightly more than half the time. When whites commit violence they target blacks two to three percent of the time. The study also notes that despite the common view that hate crimes almost always involve whites brutalizing non-whites, blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit hate crimes.
