Per Capi What?

[IM2]

Research shows that poor people commit the most crime. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, from 2008 through 2012, “persons in poor households at or below the federal poverty level had more than double the rate of violent victimization as persons in high-income households. This pattern of poor people having the highest rates of violence was consistent for both whites and blacks.”

For the period 2008-12:

• Persons in poor households at or below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (39.8 per 1,000) had more than double the rate of violent victimization as persons in high-income households (16.9 per 1,000).
• Persons in poor households had a higher rate of violence involving a firearm (3.5 per 1,000) compared to persons above the FPL (0.8-2.5 per 1,000).
• The overall pattern of poor persons having the highest rates of violent victimization was consistent for both whites and blacks. However, the rate of violent victimization for Hispanics did not vary across poverty levels.
• Poor Hispanics (25.3 per 1,000) had lower rates of violence compared to poor whites (46.4 per 1,000) and poor blacks (43.4 per 1,000).
• Poor persons living in urban areas (43.9 per 1,000) had violent victimization rates similar to poor persons living in rural areas (38.8 per 1,000).
• Poor urban blacks (51.3 per 1,000) had rates of violence similar to poor urban whites (56.4 per 1,000).

Household Poverty and Nonfatal Violent Victimization, 2008-2012

Presents findings from 2008 to 2012 on the relationship between households that were above or below the federal poverty level and nonfatal violent victimization, including rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.

Notice the numbers per capita when all else is the same. Across the board poor whites had higher per capita rates of violence than did poor blacks.

Yeah, and poverty costs us tons of money.

We have to build prisons. We have to provide police, alarm systems.

We have to take care of broken families.

And on and on.

Spending money to fix poverty will save you money in the future.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

More fun to demonize black folks first, demonizing poor folks comes in second....because some poor folks may be white and it aint that much to demonize white folks...

Need to come up with a term to distinguish those poor whites from the good whites....but I don't know what that term is...oh well

How do we fix poverty?

Household Poverty and Nonfatal Violent Victimization, 2008-2012

The link between poverty and crime is well established and race is only a factor in that a higher percentage of minorities experience poverty.

When I was just trying to survive as a teen I stole because there were many days the only thing I had to eat was what I could steal. I started selling weed and even though it was strictly small time it allowed me to have a modest income so I could at least buy something to eat and get some clothes from Sal's.

I never committed violence against other people because in reality all the people I saw were not much better off than me.

The Liberal War on Poverty, declared by President Johnson in the 1960's, has been a total catastrophe.

Time to cut and run, and bring it to a close.

Poverty won.

How about just go be poor somewhere else?

When liberals come up with some hare-brained idea that's supposed to solve the poverty problem, invariably all it does is create more poverty. Distribution of wealth only makes those from whom that wealth is stolen poorer, and the recipients of that wealth more dependent. The left just can't seem to comprehend the fact that government cannot create wealth. All it can do is redistribute other people's wealth, which is basically socialism.

Here comes the excuses.

Excuses for what?

Stealing food and selling weed?

I freely admit to that so no excuses needed

You might want to go check the poverty rates before Johnson did that. Because when you look at that number, you understand that the program actually worked.

More lame brained conservative CRAP.

The government did create wealth for whites several times during American history.

The rates between Whites and Black may be close, but Black make up a much smaller percentage of the population, so they commit more crimes per capita.

If that's true, most Black people would be millionaires by now. Maybe's ya'll just don't know how to handle your money. Find a nice Jewish accountant and he'll set up an investment strategy for you, so you won't be so fuckin' poor.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

People should be asking the question as to how a person's values relate to their poverty. If they do not value education, hard work, respect for others, two-parent families, and a general sense of personal responsibility, then poverty usually follows.

It's really about culture and what values are passed from generation to generation.

No galt you're way off with that one. I know whites like you like to think the government has given us so much stuff but when you check the record, whites have been given almost everything they have because of the government. I don't need a jewish accountant to handle my money white boy. I have a CFP designation as part of my resume.

There have been at least 3 occasions in American history where whites alone have gotten direct government economic aid. The Homestead Act. Government guaranteed loans for houses and businesses as part of the New Deal and Servicemens Readjustment Act.

The rates between Whites and Black may be close, but Black make up a much smaller percentage of the population, so they commit more crimes per capita.

When it comes to overall number of crimes, whites committ thee most. Dividing 2 numbers then multiplying it by an arbitrary number doesn't change that fact.

 

[JoeBlow]

Because Whites are the largest group, but Blacks commit more crimes per person. Are you pretending to be dumb or what?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

LOL flawed logic. Per capita is broken down by the population in question the total percent between different populations that have the same percent of something would per capita be the same dumb ass.
