Abstract
The popular assumption that urban crime increases as the proportion of minority (black) residents increases has been condemned as `racist. To ascertain the accuracy of this assumption correlations of the racial composition (percent black or white of the total city population) of seventy-seven United States cities with crime and various other socioeconomic indexes were calculated.... Results indicate that higher rates of crime poverty unemployment and welfare and lower rates of education are positively correlated with the percentage of black residents in the population. In contrast a negative correlation was observed between whites and indicators of social breakdown. (EXCERPT)
