Why do minorities always commit more crimes?

Question

in U.S. and same in U.K.?

Answer 1

It all boils down to who has the money to hire a good lawyer.

Answer 2

I don't think it is a race thing, I think it is environmental thing. We are all products of our environment. Also, do they commit more crimes, or do they just get found guilty more often than the majority? Again, I believe this is a result of environment.

Answer 3

In the US, thats not necessarily true.

While minorities have a higher incarceration percentage rate than Causcasians, Whites actually have higher numbers  of incarceration.  

If you truly want to find the answer to this question, do more studies on Criminology.  Use the FBI's Uniform Crime Report to help you identify specifics.

Answer 4

i have no clue,but i will not make excuses for them

Answer 5

In the past immigrant groups were always the hardest working because they had to strive to establish themselves.  Once it gets to second and third generations if the immigrant youth don't feel themselves to be as successful as the indigenous youth then they become resentful and are easy prey for criminals and bad guys who egg them on.

So why are they behind the indigenous youth when it comes to education and jobs?  Perhaps because of language differences at home, lack of male parents who act as role models, lack of understanding on how to go about getting into certain jobs, blame culture where they think its everyone else's fault if they don't succeed.  All of these and more are what I see in the UK and I guess its much the same elsewhere.

What is really annoying is that many of us in the indigenous community grew up in low income blue collar families and our parents and ourselves had to work hard to raise ourselves up  yet we cannot tell the minority groups to shape up and do the same or we may be accused of racism at worst or lack of empathy at best!

Answer 6

That is a good question; I have wondered the same myself.

Answer 7

to make the white man angry
