As such you will tend to draw a higher proportion of their criminals than in the wider community.<BR/><BR/>The figures for those who receive welfare really need to be combined as far as the Non-Hispanic black and white to give an accurate picture of the real situation so I can’t really comment here on that. I assume that Hispanics come in black and white and therefore I see no reason to divide the statistics differently.<BR/><BR/>The thing that stands out to me is however that the rates tend to have dropped more over the years for Hispanics than for the others.<BR/><BR/>In fairness Non-Hispanic Whites have started in the timeframe from a lower base giving less room to drop.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-73048533889422110562008-08-01T19:25:00.000+10:002008-08-01T19:25:00.000+10:00My hometown's most wanted list also doesn't reflec...My hometown's most wanted list also doesn't reflect exceedingly well on Hispanics in terms of their likelihood to commit crime.<BR/><BR/>http://www.lapdonline.org/top_ten_most_wanted<BR/><BR/>Certainly there are many Hispanics in the city, but not 90%.
