I’m probably gonna get in a lot of trouble with his comment, but I suspect that judges are loathe to imprison young black and hispanic females for minor crimes if they either have young children and/or are pregnant..
38% of white men?
i am not buying it...
That good ole thug coulture. What a way to live. One way or another they are on the dole.
9,000 people? Not where i live. Must be 9,000 people from Detroit.
Racist justice system?
Jim Crowe and slavery legacy?
Racist laws?
Oh the pain.
the only answer is to arrest 49% of white men before age 23.

“49% of black men arrested by age 23”
I’m suspicious of headlines like this, seeing them as a push to restore felon voting rights. I want to know how many black men are CONVICTED by age 23, and what they are convicted of.
Thank you, Lyndon Johnson.
>>>The research followed all races of men from the time they were 12-16 years old until they were adults.
The findings say 49% of black men had been arrested by the time they were 23. Hispanic men were next with a 44% arrest rate. 38% of white men reported they had spent time behind bars.<<<
Stalin must be envy.
These arrests include (among other things) arrests for leaving a knife or gun in one's car when one drove to school (rightly decried as both absurd and unjust by most FReepers), arrests for assault resulting from high school fights that in our youth would have been handled by the principal and teachers without any criminal charges, arrests for DUIs which would not have been DUIs a decade ago before the Feds pushed the states to lower the blood alcohol level required for the charge, and lots of arrests for underage drinking by 18 to 20 year olds, that again (in most states) would not have been a crime in our youth.
While there has been a decline in morality in our society (I'm not even sure it's concentrated among the young, cf. my comments on the "Era of Bad Stewards" on other threads), a lot of this is a result of the coercive nanny state as documented in books with titles like One Nation Under Arrest and Three Felonies a Day.
I do not believe their statistics. No way these numbers are this high for any of the categories.
If this is true it just shows that blacks are treated with kid gloves. The police arrest them but the black robed tyrants and liberal prosecutors let them off the hook and back into the streets. Saint Trayvon was an experienced criminal. The school authorities and police new it, but the worst they gave him was a slap on the wrist.
But it may not just be ideology that keeps these cretins out of prison, it could be plain logistics. If all those blacks who truly deserved it were convicted and sent to prison, the prisons would be literally bursting at the seams. So would the prison budget.
And lets not forget another thing. Prison for these thugs is absolutely no deterrent to crime. Prison to them is like a vacation. There are three hots and a cot. No bills, no work. Free cable tv and gym. They get to hang out with their friends all day and its all the drugs and on-the-down-low sex they want.
More Marxist driven science.

Eric Holder will demand the arrest of more white people, to offset these racist numbers — whether or not white people committed any crimes!
The solution is obvious.
Eric Holder needs to put out an Executive Order to police departments to stop arresting black men.
/SARC (I think??)
Simplifying, for Rio Linda. If there are 100 men -- 80 white, 20 black. The arrest rate for whites is 40%, so 32 whites arrested. The arrest rate for blacks is 50%, so 10 are arrested. If the conviction rate is the same for both races, then prisons/jails would be roughly 75% white - 25% black.
If that's not the racial makeup of prisons, then obviously there's a racist judiciary.
See how it works? Unless that pesky, 38% isn't right.
