From my new column in Taki’s Magazine:
The Geography of Homicide
Steve SailerAugust 24, 2022
Everybody has an opinion on matters of crime and race, but not that many people are familiar with the facts. So I’m going to devote this column to furnishing basic data about the best documented and most important crime, homicide. …
Not surprisingly, within the U.S., a state’s total homicide rate tends to correlate closely with how black its population is.
If you count Washington D.C. as a state, the correlation coefficient is a very high r = 0.82.
New Mexico stands out as a state with a high murder rate despite very few blacks. Georgia, which increasingly attracts middle-class black migrants, is an outlier in the opposite direction, with a relatively low murder rate for its high proportion of African Americans.
