Trump's Washington police takeover echoes history of racist narratives about urban crime

[IM2]

Abstract​

Objectives: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of homelessness among mentally disordered offenders entering the criminal justice and forensic mental health systems, to compare base rates of arrest for violent and nonviolent criminal charges among homeless and domiciled persons with mental illness, and to examine patterns in the categories of victims chosen by these two groups.

Methods: The authors analyzed data from structured psychiatric interviews and criminal and psychiatric records of 77 homeless defendants and 107 domiciled defendants referred for psychiatric examination by the criminal and supreme courts in Manhattan over a six-month period.

Results: Mentally disordered defendants had 40 times the rate of homelessness found in the general population, and 21 times the rate in the population of mentally ill persons in the city. The overall rate of criminal offenses was 35 times higher in the homeless mentally ill population than in the domiciled mentally ill population. The rate of violent crimes was 40 times higher and the rate of nonviolent crimes 27 times higher in the homeless population. Homeless defendants were significantly more likely to have been charged with victimizing strangers.

Conclusions: Homeless mentally ill persons appear to be grossly overrepresented among mentally disordered defendants entering the criminal justice and forensic mental health systems and to have a higher base rate of arrest for both violent and nonviolent crimes than domiciled mentally ill pe

You are going to be shown evidence.

Whites commit the most crime.

If that's true,why are our jails overflowing with blacks?

You sound so much like superbadbrother...

You are wrong and stop trying to tell a black man what the cue is for black crime for the perspective of a white ---. If 47 percent of black women are singe mothers, that means 53 percent aren't. Furthermore:

“In 1965, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, attributed racial inequality as well as poverty and crime in the black community to family structure, particularly the prevalence of families headed by single mothers. Not only did research at the time cast doubt on this causality, but evidence over the last the 50 years demonstrates that rates of child poverty, educational attainment, and crime do not track rates of single parenthood. Thus, even though the share of children living with a single mother rose for all racial and ethnic groups through the mid-1990s and has remained high since then, school completion and youth arrests for violent crimes have declined significantly, while poverty rates have fluctuated according to economic conditions.

Whites commit the most crime. There are white murderers and other criminals today who had fathers in the home. The recent shooter at the CDC had a father in the home. The white man who tried shooting Trump in PA had a father in the home. We have a white felon as president who had a father in the house who enabled him to become the criminal he is. So stop repeating that ignorant white racist 60 year old debunked lie

The Monihan Report was case to save the Negro family because he knew the welfare state would destroy it and it did.
Blacks have the highest murder rate 53% because there is no father in the family. Thats the main cause of poverty and crime.

Abstract
The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment.

Black Women Are the Most Likely Group to Be Single-Parents | The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

According to the United States Census Bureau, Back households were the most likely group to be a family household maintained by a women without a spouse, with about 25 percent of all Black households falling into this category.

jbhe.com

The United Census Bureau has released a new report on the demographic profile of households and living arrangements in the United States over the past 50 years.

The report found that the share of households made up of married-couple families has significantly dropped since the 1970s, particularly for non-White households. In 2022, only 27 percent of Black households were married-couple families compared to roughly 50 percent of White households.


Racism isnt the problem its black men who wont be father.

You guys elected a criminal to be president. The issue in the sane world will now be the undemocratic use of the military on our streets. Because as you have been shown crime in DC is at a 30 year low, DC is not even in the top 30 of most dangerous cities. And I showed you two cities with Republican mayors whose crime is higher than DC.

A conviction in a kangaroo court didnt have much effect now did it.
Crime is up in DC they dont report it anymore

A D.C. police commander is under investigation for allegedly making changes to crime statistics in his district.

The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Michael Pulliam was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May. That happened just a week after Pulliam filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief and the police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data, according to three law enforcement sources familiar with the complaint.

The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.
Wash DC isnt a state the military can be sent there

 

[Man With A Plan]

Not it is not. Not from a President who has pardoned violent criminals. Nor is it when crime in that city is at a 30-year low.

You keep trotting out that "crime is at a 30 year low" line, IM2 and all that really proves is that the citizens of a city will stop calling the Police to report a crime if they know that the criminal is going to be let right back out on the streets by a liberal DA and a liberal judge. Why waste your time? The people that live in DC know full well how dangerous it is. So do the Democrat politicians that try and gaslight their constituents with claims that it's not really that bad!

 

[Hafar1014]

In what world would 43% of black women being single mothers be used as an argument defending black crime.

Nothing short of amazing.

The world of Im wrong and refuse to see it

How Racism in the Courtroom Produces Wrongful Convictions and Mass Incarceration

Racial discrimination in the courtroom and disparities in the criminal justice system lead to unjust convictions and sentencing.

Innocence Project: Race and Wrongful Conviction

The racial disproportionality in wrongful conviction cases reflects persistent biases in the criminal legal system.

innocenceproject.org

In September of 2022, the National Registry of Exonerations released a Report (the “Report”) demonstrating that Black Americans are significantly more likely to face wrongful convictions than their white counterparts. The National Registry of Exonerations tracks all known wrongful convictions in the United States since 1989. The Report was made through the joint efforts of the University of California Irvine Newkirk Center for Science and Society, the University of Michigan Law School, and Michigan State University College of Law. The Registry’s first Report on race and wrongful convictions was released in 2017. The September 2022 Report contains more information and detail than the 2017 Report, along with improved data.



According to the Report, Black Americans account for only 13.6% of the United States population, but comprise 53% of exonerations since 1989. Therefore, Black Americans are seven times more likely to be falsely convicted of serious crimes than white Americans. The three types of crimes that result in the largest numbers of exonerations are murder, sexual assault, and drug crimes.

Start asking why so many incarcerated blacks get exonerated, white... .

Because if Trump was black, he'd be sitting in prison right now instead of the Oval Office.

IF I SOUND LIKE SUPERBAD, IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH BLACK MEN WHO LIVE IN AMERICA.

Right.

Out of the 53%, how many are married mothers, how many aren't mothers?

White racists will try anything. So now crime in DC is down because blacks stop calling police.

Why do you racist white motherfuckers think you can tell somebody black this bullshit?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Of course, the off-topic personal attacks will come, and that's fine. Plausible deniability just doesn't work with me. You are going to be shown evidence. This so-called law and order rhetoric has a racist history. This is a FACT.

Trump's Washington police takeover echoes history of racist narratives about urban crime​

Conservative lawmakers have for generations used denigrating language to describe the condition of major American cities and called for greater law enforcement, often in response to changing demographics in those cities driven by nonwhite populations relocating in search of work or safety from racial discrimination and state violence. Republicans have called for greater police crackdowns in cities since at least the 1965 Watts Riots in Los Angeles.

President Richard Nixon won the White House in 1968 after campaigning on a "law and order" agenda to appeal to white voters in northern cities alongside overtures to white Southerners as part of his “Southern Strategy.” Ronald Reagan similarly won both his presidential elections after campaigning heavily on law and order politics. Politicians ranging from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to former President Bill Clinton have cited the need to tamp down crime as a reason to seize power from cities like Washington for decades.

During the George Floyd protests in 2020, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project found that the government intervened more in BLM demonstrations than in any other demonstration or protest.

“ACLED also highlights a violent government response, in which authorities use force more often than not when they are present at protests and that they disproportionately used force while intervening in demonstrations associated with the BLM movement, relative to other types of demonstrations.”

If Trump is serious about crime prevention, why not send troops to Beaumont, Texas?

Locals who live in nearby areas of Beaumont probably already know that the Beaumont, TX crime rate is one of the worst in the state and even in the country. It has a rating of F on areavibes.com due to it being 278% above the national average for violent crime.

Another case for gaining perspective on Beaumont, TX, is considering the crime rates in Houston. The city has one of the highest crime rates in the US, with 10.96 crimes per 1,000 people. The difference between Beaumont and Houston, though, is that the latter is home to more than two million people.

Question of fact:

What kills more black Americans, urban crime or racist narratives about urban crime?

 

[berg80]

If trump's DC police takeover is justified why is he lying about the data? I mean other than the fact he's a pathological liar who lies almost every time he opens his mouth.

“The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia, Mexico City, some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth,” Trump said.

“We have DC: 41 per 100,000. No.1 that we can find anywhere in the world,” Trump said, holding up a chart comparing homicide rates across capital cities. “Other cities are pretty bad, but they’re not as bad as that.”

The chart Trump displayed was first shared Aug. 6 on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.” Trump didn’t mention that the data in it is from 2023. Since then, the district’s homicide rate has fallen considerably. The rate was not the worst in the world — then or now.

In 2023, at least 49 other cities in the world had higher homicide rates.

Mayors of Dem shitholes should take note. Failing that, eventually the voters will.

Mayor's of dem shitholes have nothing to worry about. Democrats, to the last of them support criminals. No matter how henious the crime, Democrats are firmly on the side of the criminal. That's why democrats will continue to vote for the most loathsome and twisted creatures.
