Nearly half of black males and almost 40 percent of white males in the U.S. are arrested by age 23, which can hurt their ability to find work, go to school and participate fully in their communities.
A new study released Monday (Jan. 6) in the journal Crime & Delinquency provides the first contemporary findings on how the risk of arrest varies across race and gender


good job America, we've almost ended the criminal % disparity between races....we are almost both half good and half evil.

Girls, do you ever ask a guy if he has a criminal record before you sleep with him?

One has not truly lived until he's been arrested.

i could see the stats being accurate, of course the stats aren't going to say the difference in the crimes. I would bet a lot of people get arrested based on fights,dui and such.

not really the study, others have been done about how shitty Americans are....just they didnt focus strictly on Men.

quote:

The study, the first since the 1960s to look at the arrest histories of a national sample of adolescents and young adults over time, found that 30.2 percent of the 23-year-olds who participated reported having been arrested for an offense other than a minor traffic violation


NYtimes, and was male/female together

White collar crime-DUI, Public intox, drugs

does not equal

Rape, murder, theft, armed robbery, etc... (good portion of these crimes go unsolved)

yeah, stealing millions on paper, not as bad as robbing a local convenience store for $247


it's the knowingly committing a crime that shows one evil.

That statistic is very misleading. A felony can hurt your ability to find work. Armed robbery =/= urinating in a parking lot

This.

I've never asked a guy if he's been arrested before I've slept with him
Those numbers seem extremely high, though just because someone got arrested, doesn't mean they actually served time for anything.

Remove drug charges and what's the percentage then?

I bet it significantly reduces it.

You can actually get put on a sex offender list for urinating in public.
