    It’s almost impossible to say without really breaking down policing and crime rates by granular particulars that I’m not sure we really track with accuracy, as the US’s crime tracking is massively skewed because of things like over-policing, redlining/segregation remnants (an actual nazi on Lemmy actually pulled the 13/50 argument with me today) and of course under-reporting some crimes and over-reporting other crimes. Basically, our criminal justice system is so fucked in America that we can’t trust stats… so yeah, OP’s image might as well just make numbers up, it’s not like we have highly trustworth alternatives.

    As for actual numbers, I did find this report from 2023 that seems somewhat reliable, it massively points to white families as the number one perpetrator in crimes against children in the US. (these stats include neglect, which is why women have a higher percentage of perpetration than men.)

    Rates of just immigrant criminality have been studied, and as most of us know, it’s been shown that immigrants commit far less crime than native populations, and are about 60% less likely to be incarcerated for criminal behavior.
