So, what % of that 13% is responsible for that 56%? How does it compare to the other demographics? It's probably something more akin to 3% responsible for 50%+ of crime, and the rest of the demographic aren't doing anything about it.
Well when we try to point this out we get shouted down. I’m all for holding police accountable but with these crime rates I think it’s pretty logical that if you reduced it then there would be less police interactions. But what do I know. For some reason there is a ton of opposition to discussing crime rates and one of the root causes being a massive rate of fatherless homes I guess some see it as easier to blame “the system” instead of looking in the mirror.
I believe that if you just look at 15-35 males then it accounts for most of it. So it's more like 5% does 50% but I don't have the specific numbers at hand.
Well, we have some data right in the screencap. If we assume black and white males commit crimes approximately proportionately to females of the same, then you can use that 88% breakdown.
I know women outnumber men slightly, but easy maths, easy maths:
50% of 13.4% is 6.7%. 88% of 55.9% is 49.2%.
So 6.7% of the population commits 49.2% of the crime. Now, obviously babies aren't committing crimes, and neither are many 80 year olds, so your off the cuff estimate of 5% doing 50% is actually likely surprisingly close.
