Maybe not, but it does tell you that if you are going to be the victim of a violent crime, it will be that group who is the perpetrator.
Even more, you can take other indicators as further clues - does this person carry and present himself in an adult-like manner? Is he somewhere you would expect to find a sober and civic-minded individual, or does he seem to be lurking or on the prowl? Is he alone, or with a group? We have been taught that it's wrong to ponder these types of questions, when really it's your own sense of self preservation reminding you that the world is a dangerous place, and it's best to be alert.
I need not worry about how someone looks.
I already know the areas to avoid when walking in town.
Trying to look at a person and decide if they are a criminal isn't effective.
This is because criminals are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
If they are going to do a crime.
They most likely know how to hide until the last second.
That's what I always keep in mind.
Criminals are not stupid!
They think about how to trap people, commit crimes, and get out of there fast.
This is why people become their victims.
The criminal has spent time thinking about how to bypass your judgment defenses.
GUYS!!
Using the data of
"5-6% of the US population commits fully half the violent crime. That's not racism, that's one of the worst statistics anyone has ever seen."
Doesn't tell us the odds of being attacked by black people in a random occurrence.
You need to run the formula of
n = number of crimes.
n / 41,000,000 = %
That will tell you the number that matters.
If you did "Randomize" trials of having a random person see a random black person.
Based on that total population number. What are the chances they will attack me?
This formula will tell the truth.
Using the 5-6 of the US population is causing all the crime. Doesn't tell me how likely I am to be attacked by this population.
