Since it would point a finger at her (and the GOP's) base these days, I'm sure she wouldn't want to touch this third rail, but I'll go ahead and state a fact: violent crime is not so much a demographic problem, in the way that she's trying to state it. It is actually (factually) more of a socio-economic problem. The things that violent criminals tend to have in common, much more so than race, is that they are almost always people of lower educational levels and people who are at the lower end of the income distribution.
I read a study several years ago which documented this phenomenon over time. It documented the socio-economic status of various transplants, racial and ethnic groups (Blacks, Whites, Asians, Italians, Irish, Jews, etc.) in America from the late 1800's forward. And the one thing that stood out was that in times when these groups had heavy concentrations of lower earning, less educated people, their contribution to violent crime was always much higher. It's not that hard to find evidence that the very same thing is still true. The violent crime prison population is primarily made up of poorly educated, lower earning people.... race, ethnicity and/or religion are secondary factors.
But to actually post that fact might mean Ann's listener base in West Virgina, Mississippi and Alabama might plummet! Hey wait a minute, that skinny bitch is uh talkin' 'bout us now!!! :ignore2:
Stats (mis)used by people with an agenda is what gives stats a bad name.
