Original Note:
While black people are overrepresented in crime statistics, saying that black people are more violent is an incorrect explanation for that disparity. It is better explained by factors like racial discrimination in the criminal justice system and socioeconomic inequities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/09/09/gary-johnsons-bungled-claims-about-racial-disparities-in-crime https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4097310/ https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-criminol-060520-033306
