Oh yeah and this was used as a justification for racial profiling targeting Blacks.
Although whites commit most of the crimes in America, Blacks are disproportionately represented in crime. Therefore, law enforcement and many citizens felt that reducing crime (particularly the "street crimes" that people feared the most) could be accomplished if they targeted certain areas of the city and certain groups of people. Many people felt that high crime rates committed by such an underrepresented group was indicative of criminal predisposition and therefore warranted such tactics. It's also easier to target a minority group than target a majority group. Woohoo!!!!
