In Australia, you pump your gas and then you pay. In America, you pay and then you can pump your gas.
In regional Australia, people usually don’t lock up their homes and cars. In American cities, that is mandatory.
So why is there so much crime in America and so relatively little in Australia? The answer has almost nothing to do with Australia and America. These two countries simply exemplify world-wide trends in crime — black people commit the most, Orientals the least and whites are in between.
I’ve been in Australia two weeks now and hardly seen any blacks and no Mexicans. By contrast, Los Angeles is the most racially mixed city in the United States with large numbers of blacks and Mexicans and consequently huge rates of crime in areas where blacks and Mexicans live.
Some parts of Australia are dangerous but they are areas with lots of blacks or low-IQ Muslims or other low-IQ types. Why Australia imports this dysfunction is beyond me. Overall, however, Australia has about the most sane immigration policy around.
In the U.S., Blacks are less than 13% of the population but have 50% of all arrests for assault and murder and 67% of all arrests for robbery. Fifty percent of all crime victims also report their assailants are Black, so the arrest statistics cannot be due to police bias.
Blacks make up a large share of those arrested for white-collar crimes. About 33% of persons arrested for fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, and receiving stolen property, and about 25% of those arrested for embezzlement are Black. Blacks are under-represented only in offenses, such as tax fraud and securities violations, that are committed by individuals in high status occupations.
On the other hand, Orientals are under-represented in U.S. crime statistics. This has led some to argue that the Asian “ghetto” has protected members from harmful outside influences. For Blacks, however, the ghetto is said to foster crime, so purely cultural explanations are not enough.
Female homicides tell the same story. In one study of female arrests, 75% were Black women. Only 13% were White women. No Asian women were arrested. The cultural explanation for the crime rate of Black men does not apply to Black women, who are not expected to engage in criminal behavior to the same extent. There is no “gangster” image among Black females.
The same pattern is found in other countries. In London, England, Blacks make up 13% of the population, but account for 50% of the crime rate. A 1996 government commission in Ontario, Canada, reported that Blacks were five times more likely go to jail than Whites, and 10 times more likely than Orientals. In Brazil, there are 1.5 million Orientals, mostly Japanese whose ancestors went there as
laborers in the 19th century, and who are the least represented in crime.
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.
