White people greatly overestimate crimes commited by Blacks
Excerpt:
Quote:
How do people's perceptions of who is committing a crime compare with reality? In a 2012 paper, researchers argued that black people commit a much lower share of crimes than whites assume.
The paper compares two surveys of people’s perceptions about violent crime with actual statistics. The “mean perceived percentage” figures are based on responses of white people in two telephone surveys
Pickett says the surveys do suggest that whites overestimate how much blacks are involved in serious street crime and, on average, believe that black people commit a larger proportion of serious street crime than whites do.

I live in a white neighborhood closely bordered by lower income black neighborhoods. I assumed blacks were the ones coming into my area and committing crimes. But guess who stole a $300 suitcase delivered to my door by UPS? A young white woman.
Interesting study. Can't say I'm surprised though.
Tell me about it, "all blacks are gangsters and all whites are closeted kkk members". If stereotypes about pocs are true, then by that logical it must also be true for non-pocs
My dad always changes the channel when the news is on because he thinks its all about black people committing crimes . He wont even let me watch Nicki if she comes on the TV
