About this ebook
This book examines the incendiary issue of racial variation in crime rates in the United States and in many other countries using a variety of data sources. It examines the latest genetic data asserting the reality of the concept of race, and various lines of evidence from population genetics, evolutionary biology, and anthropology pertinent to the evolution of racial differences in behaviour. Because males of African descent commit a disproportionate number of crimes in all countries where crime rates are classified by racial categories are available, the emphasis is on explaining black crime relative to white and Asian crime. In addition to run-of-the-mill street crimes, racial differences in crimes such as mass, spree, and serial killing, hate crime, white-collar crime, and organised crime are examined.

Finally a book that takes on this issue without cowardice. This book should be a clarion call to begin focusing on a problem that America has ignored due to guilt for a hundred years. Until you shine light on a problem a solution will never be evident. Until we are willing to address this issue from a stance of social acceptability in any civilized society we will never take the steps required to create the social reformation needed for this community to succeed.
