Candace McCoy is a criminologist at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York.

Felonies include everything from violent crimes like murder and rape, to property crimes like burglary and embezzlement, to drug trafficking and gun offenses.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that in 2004, state courts had over 1 million felony convictions. Of those, 59 percent were committed by whites and 38 percent by blacks. But when you factor in the population of whites and blacks, the felony rates stand at 330 per 100,000 for whites and 1,178 per 100,000 for blacks. That’s more than a three-fold difference.

That is from referenced data within the following article at politifact http://www.politifact.com/punditfact...whites-blacks/

I ran across the above within the following article published yesterday from the Washington Times. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ut-minority-d/

both articles mention how the data is insufficiently kept so your numbers probably were not accurate to begin with Allaharti.

Cool information.. Unfortunately, it's raw fact and doesn't go into causality. Also, do you ever plan to link that transgender study or are you hiding from that thread now(as expected).
