On August 15, 2013, The Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice published a paper by Mike Males titled, “Why the Gigantic, Decades-Long Drop in Black Youth Crime Threatens Major Interests.” Males points this out in his report. “For nearly all serious and minor offenses, including homicide, rates among black teenagers nationally were lower in 2011 than when racial statistics were first collected nationally in 1964. Black youths’ murder arrest rates are considerably lower today than back when Bill Cosby was funny (long, long ago).” While people like most of the right-wing express racist opinions about black youths, young blacks were described by Males in this manner: “Today’s young African Americans display the lowest rates of crime and serious risk of any generation that can be reliably assessed.”
We see much to do made about a very small number of blacks, including young blacks, who commit crimes. But far more blacks are like this young man, they work hard and do positive things.
