Crime rates
There are dramatic race differences in crime rates.
Asians have the Lowest rates, followed by Whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates.
This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups. In 2013, a black was Six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

Urban centers
In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for Murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting”— defined as firing a bullet that hits someone —a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.
If New York City were All white, the murder rate would drop by 91%, the robbery rate by 81%, and the shootings rate by 97%.
In an All-white Chicago, murder would decline 90%, rape by 81%, and robbery by 90%.
