If at 12% of the population blacks commit 52% of the murders, then assuming the same murder rate for blacks, what percentage of the murders would they commit if they were 50% of the population? Show your work.

(Or, if you don't want to be racist, do it this way: Say you're an apple dealer, and you normally get 12% of your apples from company A, and apples from company A account for 52% of your bad apples that you have to throw out. Then say that you have to increase the percent of your apples that you get from company A to 50%. Now what percentage of your bad apples will come from company A?)

Yeah, I get that at 0% of the population, a group will commit 0% of the murders, and at 100% of the population they will commit 100% of the murders.

But what I'm trying to get is that if at 12% of the population we know that a group commits 52% of the murders, then what percent of the murders would they commit if they were 50% of the population?

It seems like the math would be straightforward, but I can't can come up with anything that gives a reasonable answer.

The original problem says "assuming the same murder rate for blacks." That is, whatever rate it is that allows them to commit 52% of the murders at 12% of the population stays the same, but we just increase their percent of the population to 52%.

Does that help?

Given the problem, we don't know what the rate is. We just are assuming that the rate is staying the same. Is that not enough to solve the problem?

>> No.9865983

It's a compound statistics, because murders are racially motivated too
You'd need to know what % of crime is vs black and vs white for the black population to have a reliable projection.
If you want to remove that additional trait, you're literally just making up an unreliable projection based on the fact that blacks will commit murder regardless of race, which is kind of stupid since everything they do is related to race.

That said, if 12% of the population commits 52% of the murders and the rest of 88% of the population number remains unvaried, then the black population would need to grow to 733% of the current to match. Less if the rest of the population is shrinking, more if it's increasing.

If the crime % is also constant in the population regardless of its size or composition (protip, it isn't because both are huge determiners) then murders would be 429% compared to the current number, or roughly 3 and a quarter times higher. In this, the black population would be committing about 88.81% of the murders with the aforementioned limitations.

Again, this is back of the envelope shitculations, if you want proper statistics to take over you A) need proper statistics and B) need to fucking pay me or whoever takes over

wouldn't make more sense to think about this in terms of men and women too? Since men commit the vast majority of crimes, I don't have
a great figure but it would be something like 4:1(http://law.jrank.org/pages/1250/Gender-Crime-Differences-between-male-female-offending-patterns.html).). If this is the case then we can assume that around 6% (black males in this case or apples) of the population is responsible for about 42-4% of crime. Sorry if this just complicates things but I think it's something to consider.

which is kind of nonsense, since the numbers that were to be used are not "all blacks" but not all blacks are able to commit murder. When a toddler unholsters or discharges a gun it's not murder, it's an accident. There's people that aren't self-sufficient, those are counted in too.

>>9866081
see this is another pitfall. You're mixing in white on black and black on white murder and using that number.
Take interracial murder out and reponder the number, you'll have whites committing slightly more than 2.0 pro capite (still pretty much within normal standards) and blacks committing roughly around 8 or 9 pro capite (still aplenty to make a point, but not completely skewed).

(https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/229381)) Land, McCall, and Cohen 1990 collected data on the homicide rates of cities, standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs), and states for the years 1960, 1970, and 1980. In each year they included all 50 states and every city and SMSA included in the census. They then looked at how well the following 11 variables predicted crime variation between these areas: population size, population density, percent black, percentage aged between 15 and 29, percent divorced, percent of kids without two parents, median family income, the poverty rate, income inequality, the unemployment rate, and whether or not the city/SMSA/State was in the south. All of these variables were entered into a single regression model, meaning that the estimated effect size for each variable held all other 10 variables constant. This analysis thus produced 9 total models explaining crime variation in cities, SMSAs, and states, across 3 decades. Across these 9 models, race was a better predictor of homicide than unemployment, poverty, and median income, in 7, or 78%, cases, and a better predictor than income inequality in 8, or 89%, cases. Thus, over 3 decades of very large data sets, race was pretty consistently a better predictor of homicide rates than economic variables were.

(http://www.unz.com/article/race-and-crime-in-america/)) Another relevant analysis was carried out by Unz.com owner Ron Unz. Unz 2013 looked at how well median income, population density, poverty, and % black, correlated with the crime rates of large American cities between 2006 and 2011. He found that the size of the black population of a substantially better predictor than any of the other variables tested.

(https://www.amren.com/the-color-of-crime/)) Similarly, the New Century Foundation’s report “The Color of Crime” analyzed the violent crime rates of the 50 U.S. states and D.C for the year 2005. The analysis found that state violent crime rates correlated at .81 with the percentage of the population that was Black or Hispanic, .37 with the state’s percentage of high-school drop outs, .36 with the states poverty rate, and .35 with the state’s unemployment rate.

(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289611000900)) Templer and Rushton 2011 significantly replicated the New Century Foundation’s results. They analyzed crime variation across the 50 U.S. states and found that the percent of the population that was black was a stronger correlate than average income for murder rates (.84 v -.40), robbery rates (.77 v .06) and assault rates (.54 vs -.23) The paper did find that income was a stronger predictor than black population size for rape rates (-.16 v -.22), but neither of these correlates were statistically significant or large.

(https://www.jstor.org/stable/591624?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents)) Kposowa, Breault, and Harrison 1995 analyzed crime variation across 2,078 U.S counties. As can be seen in pic related (standardized beta coefficients are under the “beta” column), the percent of the population that is black was a stronger explanatory variable than poverty, income inequality (gini), and unemployment, for explaining variation in both property and violent crime.
