A large number of American men have already been arrested by the time they’re in their early 20s, according to a new report.
The study, published on Monday in the journal Crime & Delinquency, found that nearly half (49 percent) of African-American men and 40 percent of white men have been arrested by the age of 23, “which can hurt their ability to find work, go to school and participate fully in their communities,” according to a press release.
The research was based on an analysis of national survey data from 1997 to 2008 of teenagers and young adults. The arrests included minor crimes like truancy as well as serious violent crimes. It excluded traffic offenses.
A friend notes:
They are afraid in the article to break it down by types of crime.
They should break it down by race for:
1. Unlawful killing (murder, manslaughter etc)
2. Forcible rapes
3. Other sex crimes
4. Assaults
5. Armed robberies
6. DUI
7. Drug trafficking
8. Drug possession
9. Larceny and related (receiving stolen property)
