Change "; a 2005 study by the American Journal of Public Health observed that the odds of perpetrating violence were 85% higher for blacks compared with whites, with Latino-perpetrated violence 10% lower."

To "."

Reason: This statement, taken from the American home journal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States) used alone as it is, is misleading and racist and preceded by a statement that confirms the intent to mislead. The sited study mentioned consisted of a preselected group of people living in Chicago, and not in all of the US as it leaves readers to believe. Also, the admittedly handpicked subjects for the study and the alleged findings were affected by the opinions of others outside of the group surveyed which means the data was compromised. No information was provided to show which other group they picked and if/how they confirmed the responses recieved were not only a reflection of their own prejudices. ] (]) 18:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

    The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, which has been designated as a contentious topic. Please consult the procedures and edit carefully.
    		Arbitration Ruling on Race and Intelligence

    The article Race and crime in the United States, along with other articles relating to the area of conflict (namely, the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, broadly construed), is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, described in a 2010 Arbitration Committee case where the articulated principles included:

    • Pillars: Misplaced Pages articles must be neutral, verifiable and must not contain original research. Those founding principles (the Pillars) are not negotiable and cannot be overruled, even when apparent consensus to do so exists.
    • Original research: Misplaced Pages defines "original research" as "facts, allegations, ideas, and stories not already published by reliable sources". In particular, analyses or conclusions not already published in reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy are not appropriate for inclusion in articles.
    • Correct use of sources: Misplaced Pages articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources. Primary sources are permitted if used carefully. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than to original analysis of the primary-source material by Misplaced Pages editors.
    • Advocacy: Misplaced Pages strives towards a neutral point of view. Accordingly, it is not the appropriate venue for advocacy or for advancing a specific point of view. While coverage of all significant points of view is a necessary part of balancing an article, striving to give exposure to minority viewpoints that are not significantly expressed in reliable secondary sources is not.
    • Single purpose accounts: Single purpose accounts are expected to contribute neutrally instead of following their own agenda and, in particular, should take care to avoid creating the impression that their focus on one topic is non-neutral, which could strongly suggest that their editing is not compatible with the goals of this project.
    • Decorum: Misplaced Pages users are expected to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with other users; to approach even difficult situations in a dignified fashion and with a constructive and collaborative outlook; and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, harassment, or disruptive point-making, is prohibited.
    • Tag-team editing: Tag teams work in unison to push a particular point of view. Tag-team editing – to thwart core policies (neutral point of view, verifiability, and no original research); or to evade procedural restrictions such as the three revert rule or to violate behavioural norms by edit warring; or to attempt to exert ownership over articles; or otherwise to prevent consensus prevailing – is prohibited.

    If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the full arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first.

    Do not feed the trollDo not feed the trolls!
    This article or its talk page has experienced trolling. The subject may be controversial or otherwise objectionable, but it is important to keep discussion on a high level. Do not get bogged down in endless debates that don't lead anywhere. Know when to deny recognition and refer to WP:PSCI, WP:FALSEBALANCE, WP:WIKIVOICE, or relevant notice-boards. Legal threats and trolling are never allowed!

    This whole article is nonsense

    You have not included any work done by those on the opposite side. This whole article wants to only site those that blame the greater society for people murdering and raping each other. It's a typical liberal propaganda angle to legitimize crime and downplay the demographics (as inconvenient as it is for the editors).

    In the first semi protected comment above me, the OP brought up Roland Fryers EXTENSIVE work,which blew the lid off this whole, "white cops targeting black people".And the editors just totally dismissed it! That right there was a dead give away. Is this wikipedia? Or some activist club that only wants to spread a narrative? 63.143.128.92 (talk) 22:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

    How topics are covered is determined by weight, that is, the degree of acceptance of different findings in reliable sources, in this case academic sources. Since Fryer's views have no acceptance among experts, they could only be mentioned here as fringe views. It doesn't matter if he is right or not. TFD (talk) 23:50, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
