U.S. Government Lies!(8/96) Under J. Edgar Hoover and then his successor, Clarence M. Kelly,
the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Reports always listed gender and race as
crime factors with this statement that crime is related to "Composition
of the population with reference particularly to age, sex, and race."
[FN1] [FN2]
That changed when Jimmy Carter took office. William H. Webster, Mr. Peanut's
appointee to run the FBI, replaced that statement with more fashionable
explanations, such as: "Variations in composition of the population,
particularly age structure." (and) "Cultural conditions, such
as educational, recreational, and religious characteristics." [FN3]
The more recent crime reports have variations on Webster's politically correct
explanations. Officially, according to lying government bureaucrats, gender
and race were no longer crime factors. Lying? Think that's too strong a
statement? Do you prefer to think of them as stupid? Well, they are one
or the other.
Gender. Of course, in reality both gender and sex are as much a crime
factor as ever. Assuming a 48:52 ratio of men to women in 1993, on a per
capita basis males commited murder at about ten times the rates that women
did: 16,859 male murder offenders, 1,742 female murder offenders.
Race. The racial discrepancy is about the same. In 1993 there were
10,357 black murder offenders and 7,669 "white" murder offenders.
Assuming a 1:8 black to "white" ratio in the American population,
there were over ten times as many black murderers arrested in 1993 as "white"
murderers on a per capita basis.
"White" and White. FBI bureaucrats classify non-whites
as white. Since 1987 the FBI hasn't provided crime data for Hispanics. It
includes Hispanics and some other non-blacks in the "white" category.
Most of the 24 million American Hispanics are not white, but are meztizos
and Indians. For six years, from 1980 to 1986, the FBI did provide information
on Hispanic crime. During that time period, it appears that about 20-25%
of "white" murderers were actually Hispanics. Since then the proportion
of Hispanics in the U.S. has continued to grow and like blacks they commit
crime out of proportion to theie numbers.
Black on "White" Murder. Even worse is the black murder
of white people. Blacks murder more than 1,600 "whites" each year.
Blacks murder "whites" at 18 times the rate whites murder blacks.
[FN4] For their own reasons, FBI bureaucrats in the annual Uniform Crime
Reports bury that type of information.
