Statistically white people commit the least amount of crime by a far margin. 1/3 of black males in the US are felons. Alaska has the highest amount of DV crimes in the US and most are committed by Alaska Natives. Race has quite a bit to do with everything. We as a society need to find out why these segments of our population are so effected by crime and work to fix the problem instead of just treating the symptom by throwing everyone in jail which leads to extreme costs on the taxpayer, families, and children. My point is that life does not stop after the person is thrown in prison and most of the time it only has negative consequences like additional crime and recidivism due to economic sanctions on the offender. He is still living within our society and we will be supporting him and everyone affected by his crime into the future if he cannot support himself, his children, and also if we have to pay to support these people through social services or welfare.
