[DL31838]

When I first read your question I thought ‘disproportionate as compared to whom? Whites?’ So I’m assuming that is what you mean. To me the answer seems simple enough. First, all races commit crimes. Perhaps the type of crimes are more about socioecomomic factors than anything else. In a country in which Blacks are disproportiately improverished vis-a-vis Whites it seems elementary why when they do commit crimes, they are usually of the robbery and burglary type. But while we are on the subject of race and crime a compelling question for me is why do white men commit a disproportionate number of crimes such as white-collar crime, illicit drug use, rape, child molestation, serial killing and mass murder?
