Nextbigfuture reader Goatguy has compiled the 2013 FBI ARREST records from their website, along with the 2013 estimated racial statistics of population of the United States for the closest (2010) year.
The results are … striking.
Read the “normalizations” at the top of the data block.
And the “notable observations” at the bottom.
REMEMBER – these are NOT the statistics of crime AGAINST a particular ethnic group, but statistics of the people arrested in suspicion of the crimes.
They are telling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of normalized crime rate data, FBI, 2013 stats. The normalization of the data is first... to extract out hispanic numbers and adjust them for the FBI-state reporting agency accounting (in which all reporting agencies do not necessarily track hispanic/latino ethnicities) Then to adjust the relative crime rate by race/ethnicity by their fraction of the total population of the United States, again by race. This is critical for FAIRLY assessing the relative proclivity of a race's members to commit each particular type of crime AND be arrested for it. It is unknown how much crime is committed that does NOT result in an arrest. Since the police investigative agencies typically do NOT pursue the 'rampant crimes' of the inner cities, the actual crime commit rate is likely much higher. It would NOT be fair tho' to place the blame on any particular race beyond the proportionality implied by the attached table numbers. Or, more to the point, it is not very likely that members of ANY race or ethnicity are more EFFICIENTLY apprehended and arrested for criminal violations, the narrative of 'Black Lives Matter' activists and other race-fairness groups notwithstanding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Offense race and population : white 196817k black 37685k hispanic 50477k amerind 2247k asian 14465k islander 481k -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aggravated assault : 101432 54.7% 98748 278.0% 81660 171.6% 4356 205.7% 4423 32.4% 412 90.9% all other offenses (except traffic) : 1358589 81.9% 790854 248.9% 383266 90.1% 43953 232.0% 25090 20.6% 1187 29.3% arson : 4961 93.0% 1925 188.6% 1237 90.5% 130 213.6% 107 27.3% 4 30.7% burglary : 91978 71.0% 61709 248.9% 45012 135.6% 1966 133.0% 2196 23.1% 228 72.1% curfew and loitering law violations : 14533 47.9% 21351 367.3% 10474 134.5% 610 176.0% 630 28.2% 24 32.3% disorderly conduct : 193943 81.7% 129782 285.7% 37661 61.9% 7982 294.7% 2775 15.9% 59 10.2% driving under the influence : 567221 97.7% 113928 102.5% 199219 133.8% 12575 189.8% 16831 39.5% 696 49.1% drug abuse violations : 592646 77.2% 365785 248.9% 222535 113.0% 9408 107.4% 12930 22.9% 858 45.7% drunkenness : 205732 90.5% 56885 130.8% 82414 141.4% 7399 285.2% 3550 21.3% 447 80.5% embezzlement : 6532 81.5% 4386 285.8% 1350 65.7% 87 95.1% 207 35.1% 12 61.3% forgery and counterfeiting : 23972 77.4% 16375 276.1% 7236 91.1% 288 81.5% 677 29.7% 33 43.6% fraud : 64714 89.9% 35958 260.9% 9968 54.0% 1145 139.3% 1094 20.7% 41 23.3% gambling : 917 28.5% 3362 544.9% 516 62.4% 27 73.4% 226 95.4% 7 88.9% larceny-theft : 559275 88.5% 284358 235.1% 117898 72.8% 16402 227.4% 12605 27.2% 398 25.8% liquor laws : 187196 105.8% 40665 120.1% 35005 77.2% 10861 537.9% 3672 28.2% 45 10.4% motor vehicle theft : 19502 58.5% 15960 250.0% 15362 179.6% 685 179.9% 725 29.6% 73 89.6% murder and nonnegligent manslaughter : 1829 34.2% 4379 428.0% 1970 143.7% 98 160.6% 101 25.7% 6 45.9% offenses against the family and children: 46319 92.6% 25519 266.4% 4698 36.6% 1414 247.6% 511 13.9% 4 3.3% other assaults : 450058 80.1% 283357 263.5% 123488 85.7% 14041 219.0% 9717 23.5% 425 31.0% property crime : 675715 84.5% 363952 237.6% 179510 87.5% 19183 210.1% 15633 26.6% 703 36.0% prostitution and commercialized vice : 15548 58.1% 17378 339.4% 7118 103.8% 386 126.4% 1492 75.9% 24 36.7% rape : 5190 60.2% 4229 256.4% 3756 170.0% 160 162.7% 173 27.3% 7 33.2% robbery : 17063 34.1% 44271 461.8% 15882 123.7% 579 101.3% 649 17.6% 94 76.8% sex offenses (except rape and prostituti: 22337 75.3% 11462 201.7% 11358 149.2% 622 183.6% 744 34.1% 30 41.4% stolen property; buying receiving posses: 31529 66.4% 22687 249.3% 18708 153.5% 684 126.1% 862 24.7% 71 61.1% suspicion : 488 92.8% 303 300.9% 11 8.2% 12 199.9% 11 28.5% 0 0.0% vagrancy : 10496 77.1% 6802 261.0% 3236 92.7% 581 373.8% 222 22.2% 17 51.1% vandalism : 85427 83.2% 42566 216.5% 28415 107.9% 2951 251.7% 1638 21.7% 81 32.3% violent crime : 125512 50.3% 151627 317.3% 103270 161.4% 5193 182.3% 5346 29.1% 519 85.1% weapons; carrying possessing etc. : 36698 51.3% 44671 326.1% 28619 156.0% 888 108.7% 1251 23.8% 101 57.8% total : 4716111 82.1% 2549655 231.7% 1498086 101.6% 140290 213.8% 105109 24.9% 5384 38.3% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some things of interest: Whites (at 82%, slightly below average) ... appear NEARLY LEVEL in 'crime commiting proclivity' across the board of crimes except for ...
