See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

Amy. We don’t have to “assume” that blacks commit armed robbery in some parts of the country at a greater rate than whites (and other groups). We know they commit all types of violent crime at a greater rate than whites in all areas of the country. Armed robbery at around 7 to 8 times more likely. (This may be understated because black Hispanics are counted as Hispanics in crime data.) Race is a better predictor of crime than poverty.
Curiously, the black/white violent crime rate is the same ratio as the male/female violent crime rate. Probably has something to do with greater testosterone levels in blacks.
Blacks are more violent in every country you find them. Geneticists have discovered the so called warrior gene which is associated with agression. Its more prevalent in blacks. Blacks also have more testosterone receptors in the brain.
There was a recent study from sweden that showed that sex offenders are five times more likely to have a father or brother who is a convicted sex offender.
