I *should* have been arrested.
Does that count?

I believe they calculate non blacks as anyone else. Everyone else in the US are whites except the bothers.

"... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. ......just pass the the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."- p.411, Ayn Rand, ATLAS SHRUGGED, Signet Books, NY, 1957 "... fullyinformedjuries

None of the young men I know have ever been arrested. Can’t think of one. I’ll have to look at the study, stats have to be off.
To: Innovative
Wow. That is a scary statistic.
I can’t imagine being arrested. I think I would crumble and die on the spot.

Tell any male under the age of 21 who is arrested for a non-violent crime that all charges will be dropped if he has a vasectomy.

Sounds like “kids will be kids” to me. Lots of young people first learn respect for others until the cell doors clang.
behind them.
Also a society that won’t let young people afford a family is a society that will make those young people criminals.

they pass so many laws to use the law as a weapon against people who are not by definition, lawbreaking criminals. the lawful can’t be arrested because they don’t break laws. so those that want to target the law-abiding pass laws that turn the law-abiding into criminals.

I feel I’ve missed out.
In my 40’s and never arrested.
Now I’ve got the money to get out of most anything, but when I was a young man...?
To: Red in Blue PA
i agree. white guys aren’t breaking the law at that high of a rate. probably multiple arrests of the same people.

Thank you for pointing that out.
It’s always about money.
To: Innovative
DUI probably accounts for a good many.
To: Innovative
What matters is TYPE of crime.
Violent? Non-violent? Writing a bad check or beating up and old person?
Yeah, it matters...

I was arrested before the age of 23, was also married, a father, served 2 years in the Army, and held a technical job too before age 23.
This is not an article with actual statistics. It is based on estimates, and makes no comparisons to other years, other times.
So all in all, rushing to make a big deal out of this, is not persuasive.
Plus given all we see of the police these days, I’m inclined to believe they arrest MORE now, and warn LESS.
To: Red in Blue PA
Agree. I was just going to post one of my “I call Bull....” posts on this thread. Not even that high.

Why would criminologists conduct a study when the FBI collects and publishes comprehensive hard statistics on crime? Too much work crunching all the numbers?
