You'd need to clarify if the crimes are committed by blacks, or are committed against them.

Are you trying to make a point?


I think it has more to do with the living conditions and social class of these people than their colour.
Black people are not born violent any more or less than white people. It is what they are taught by those around them, and if those people are bitter about the way they themselves have been treated, they will pass this on to their children.
Thus the circle continues.

Yeah none of those are big cities
with the exception of Camden, NJ, all the original cities posted had over a quarter of a million people or more, unless you're counting metropolitan area, in which case I think all of them have at least 1,000,000.

My point is this: of course they're dangerous places. They're huge cities. I'm not saying that these statistics are not done by volume, but rather, higher density areas will have more crimes per person. Because there's stuff to steal and more opportunities to commit crimes than in smaller towns.

And if we're going to take the "black people are criminals" argument, let's not forget who's kept minorities down and forced them to be criminals. Society. Created by white people like you and me.

How much accounts for a "Big city"?

Also, graph:

EDIT:


The Morgan Quitno Safest City Award is based on a city's rate for six basic crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. All cities of 75,000+ populations that reported crime data to the FBI for the six crime categories were included in the rankings. In this year's survey, 371 cities were considered for the award. Final 2005 statistics, released by the FBI on September 18, 2006, were used to determine the rankings.

EDIT2:

In the United States an incorporated area or group of areas having a population more than 50,000 is required to have a metropolitan planning organization in order to facilitate major infrastructure projects and to ensure financial solubility. Thus, a population of 50,000 or greater has been used as a de facto standard in the United States to define a metropolis.

Nobody forced them to be criminals.

From Race, Evolution, and Behavior:


Studies find that Blacks are more aggressive and outgoing than Whites, while Whites are more aggressive and outgoing than Orientals. Blacks also have more mental instability than Whites. Black rates of drug and alcohol abuse are higher. Again, Orientals are under-represented in mental health statistics.

A study carried out in French-speaking Quebec looked at  825 four- to six-year-olds from 66 countries. The immigrant children were rated by 50 teachers in preschool classes. The teachers found more adjustment and less hostility among Oriental children than among White children, but they also saw more adjustment and less hostility among White children than among Black children.

Racial differences in personality are found using tests such as the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Orientals everywhere are less aggressive, dominant, and impulsive than Whites and Whites are less so than Blacks. Orientals are more cautious than either Whites or Blacks.

There are important race differences in time-orientation and motivation. One study asked Black children in the Caribbean to choose between a small candy bar now and a larger bar a week later. Most chose the small one now. A focus on the present moment as opposed to delayed gratification is a major theme in the research on Black psychology.

It may be surprising to learn that Blacks have higher self esteem than do Whites or Orientals. This is true even when Blacks are poorer and less educated. In one large study of 11- to 16-year-olds, Blacks rated themselves as more attractive than did Whites. Blacks also rated themselves higher in reading, science and social studies but not mathematics. The Blacks said this even though they knew they had lower actual academic achievement scores than White children.

Race, Evolution, and Behavior is a terribly flawed piece of pro-Eugenics racist apologism propaganda touting itself as science, and Rushton should be ashamed of pretending to be an evolutionary biologist or anthropologist.
