What factors cause ~13% of the US population to commit ~50% of violent crimes?

What factors contribute to this?
This is a serious issue, and one that desperately needs to be addressed. Can we do that here without this thread turning to a shite race baiting thread?
Is it over-policing of areas in which large groups of that portion of the population lives? Is it an indication of assumption of guilt by non-minority juries and judges based on race? Or is the primary problem a cultural issue in which violent crimes are celebrated and rewarded with status in the community? Something else, or a combination of those things?

Poverty and lack of a family unit

I'm not sure that 80 year-old retired librarians are particular violent crime threats.

Poverty

Having 0% of the privilege

Burn Beyoncé and Kanye and all will be well.

Lack of high school diploma. Coupled with high % of single mother children and prior convictions.

As someone already said poverty and no family structure. Any other answer is incorrect or a troll.

They have more privilege than any other race .

90% of the crime from that 13% is racial profiling and that's why prison is the new form of slavery. Don't you remember what Common said last year at the oscars?

I posted this link earlier in the week. Same issue. People said mean things to me.

Poverty, lack of a family unit, absent fathers, perceived "no way out"
Posted on 2/21/16 at 5:32 pm to Tuscaloosa
5 words. No father to be found. The kids are no more than a check to them. Thanks to POS President Johnson

It's actually even smaller than 13%, considering it's mostly young black men. 13% is the total black population.
And I don't have an answer for you, unless we go with the theory that might get me banned for describing here.

The downfall of the core family unit in the black community is the major reason. There is one person largely responsible for this, Lydon Baines Johnson. He has single-handily hurt more blacks in this countey then any other person by incentivizing single parent families with his Great Society.

More like 7% of the US population.
It comes down to culture. When the parents have Nike shoes stacked up to the ceiling and not a single book in the house, it shows you have no priorities. Violence is not only condoned, but it is glorified. AND snitches wind up in ditches.

Hardly. Could you even imagine without those levels?

Maybe 1% of that 50%. 2% tops

Something else,
Systemic problem of BELIEF in "acceptable" violence and welfare culture. You learn from your elders and peers.
This is true for "trash" of all races.

This being the OT and all, I'm really shocked no one has suggested statues yet.
I am disappoint.
