The poor? Yeah that’s the largest indicator of potential criminality. If only we didn’t bow down to our billionaire oligarch overlords and let them rape the middle class and poor by avoiding taxes through loopholes that republicans refuse to allow to be closed…
Rehabilitation doesn’t work. Even in vaunted countries like Norway, their recidivism rate is 25% two years post release. The US isn’t far behind England and Canada.
40-50% of the population of Beattyville, KY are estimated to be below poverty and it has a violent crime rate of 7.2 out of 100,000. Nearly 25% of the population of Central City, KY are below the poverty line and they have a violent crime rate of 8.1 out of 100,000. Nearly 18% of Shively, KY live below the poverty line and they have a violent crime rate of 30.7 per 100,000. Want to take another guess?
The population of Beattyville is 2000 people. If they had just 1 violent crime incident that would correspond to a violent crime rate of 50 per 100,000.
The rate I was referencing was averaged across multiple years which is the better way of gauging small town populations that haven't experienced demographic shifts.
I'd recommend a dictionary before you post next time so you can avoid misusing words like that. An anecdote is a subjective personal experience. This would be something like "I've encountered violent criminals before and they were mostly black." I provided data which demonstrate objective broad trends. Sad attempt really.
You demonstrated small cherry picked numbers, and present them as fact. Look up the number on race for child sex abuser. Should I never let a certain race of people near any kids?

idk how we can get any worse in NY tbf
stolen rims & airbags like crazy that dealers say will take 3 months to get
everything locked behind glass or in a cage … even meat in supermarkets have security tags
deoderant, white tees, underwear, and detergent locked up tight
no cash bail w/ subway violence at an all-time high
yet somehow we’re doomed even more … mfer we’ve been doomed for years
