Say that again.
"According to the FBI, Hispanics do not commit crimes" :thinking
>" The latest Census Bureau data reports that Hispanics make up 17.1 percent of the U.S. population, and, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lists the race of reported offenders in their annual Uniformed Crime Report (UCR), the agency does not report crimes committed by Hispanics or Latinos.
The 2012 UCR listed the total number of crimes committed by "whites," "blacks," "American Indian or Alaskan natives" and even those committed by "Asian or Pacific Islanders (who only accounted for 1.2 percent of the nation's crimes)." But, none by Hispanics.
Is this simply an oversight?...Could the FBI be so incompetent that they are unaware of the existence of this nation's large Hispanic population?
Apparently, that is not the case, since the FBI does list Hispanics as victims of crime. The 2012 report states: "Rates of serious violent victimization for whites, blacks, and Hispanics remained stable from 2011 to 2012."
Consider the following facts:
-In 2010, Hispanics accounted for 20.6 percent of the US prison population, according to Bureau of Prisons data.
-The 2011 National Youth Gang Survey Analysis reported that 46 percent of all US gang members are Hispanic.
-In 2009, a Pew Hispanic Center study, reported that Hispanics/Latinos "accounted for 40 percent of all sentenced federal offenders."
So, why has the FBI chosen to simply omit the all Hispanic crime?
It is likely due to the fact that 72 percent of Hispanic offenders are not U.S. citizens,..."<
