Good beginning because you are not ignoring the most basic facts. Ignoring blatant facts is truly being dumber. I suspect people in prison will not be getting a lot of love on this forum either and I am stating fact and will repectfully stop there lol.There are valid reasons that blacks make up about 70%( my number,you are most welcome to yours) of the prision populations.
I firmly believe that is not the doing of the "white man",and not some deep dark conspiracy.
I will respectfully stop there. --- SAWMAN
It is a whole cascade of circumstance, with the circumstances under which a young human is nurtured is being very important. The people they hang out with. The school system and so on. Also the lawyer one gets after being charged makes a big difference along with any influence the relatives can bring to bear can help in some venues.I don't know if there's ever been a "study" done but I'd be willing to bet that incarceration rates are directly related to fatherless rates.

I understand where you are coming from and yes to be incarcerated in most instances you have to either be accused of a crime or convicted of it. The question is why do so many non-whites relative to whites get convicted. If we understand the cause or at least the science behind such perhaps we would lower crime in an idea world.The prime reason the prison populations are what they are is because THEY ARE CONVICTED CRIMINALS. Its not the color of their skin, it's their decisions to violate laws for some form of gratification that the INDIVIDUALS judge outweighs the risk of being caught, convicted and sentenced. The Justice system and its sub-parts are not perfect but but it is all we have. Miscarriages of Justice are corrected when found.
Save all that "oppressed, discriminated against, lack of oppertunity, poverty impacted" B.S. the talking heads and race card peddlers push to put "blame" on others. Persons of any race can succeed or fail. Its all about choices and parental responsibilities, the latter cultivates and the former sets the path.
I can give you one proven solution, the harshest form of Sharia Law. There is no mercy for the first offense. If you steal, it is amputation. For other things that are minor whipping to more serious it is public beheading and even stoning. From what I understand is that it works. Also there is a great savings on not needing prisons.People of any and all race/skin pigment/ancestry get convicted due to the preponderance of evidence/guilty beyound a reasonable doubt (Jury instructions). I stated the Root Causes and they are simple to understand but impossible to fix in a free society. It's not the govs responsibility to raise kids. The gov provides Laws on what is not acceptable behaviors and escalating penalties for those who decide to commit crimes. Gov penalties provide a margin deterent. Even those recent WuFlu releases from jails and prisons "to save their lives from an incarceration death sentence" are reoffending: so possible death from WuFlu behind bars isn't stopping criminal behaviors either. A few have been arrested several times since their Humanitarian Release murder, rob, burg, assault: same stuff with new oppertunity.
Let's not shed tears on percentages and numbers and say something gotta be wrong with the system. Instead read each individual file and see how deserving of incarceration they are. I've read thousands: dwarf cat burglars, juvenile murderers, RICO gangbangers and Org Crime Hitters-Lts-Capo and Bosses, kìlling Grandma with a hatchet, Grandpa sex offenders, enough dope to sink the Queen Mary and bad LE too! With Court leniency for the first few times at bat, reduced Charges, Plea deals and reduced Sentences, it's no wonder that there is no deterrent to crime; now they push for more criminal justice reform. Surely, it doesn't suprise anyone when criminal crap Headlines a the BG has a multiple page rap sheet.
