The women are just as bad as the men, so I don't go along with the 6% correction.

Also, the older men may have also stopped committing crimes because they're old, but they committed just as many crimes when they were young. 13/56 is the only intellectually honest number.

This part is huge. Black men pretty much stop the foolishness or die off by age 35

I don’t think the 13/56 takes into factor crime committed 30-50yrs ago. If so, the population % and types of crimes would be different. I always figured the number come from modern statistics, like the past 5-10yrs.

No, that has been the rate since the 1970s, iirc.

But isn’t it like murders/violent crimes? If it was 13/56 in the 70s, it’s gotta be 13/99 today. I’d imagine it’s way way worse today than it was back then but idk.
