The authoritative source on crime and arrests is the FBI's "Crime in the United States" (CIUS). http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/ In 2005, there were 14,094,186 arrests in all jurisdictions; 603,000 of those were for violent crime. So, 4.3% of arrests were for violent crime, and about 96% for property crime, stock fraud, etc. GAO reported its study of illegal alien prisoners and the offenses for which they were arrested. Among a sample of illegal alien prisoners, 12% had been arrested for violent crimes. http://www.gao.gov/htext/d05646r.html There are 2,079,000 prisoners (fed, state, local), and 270,000 of those are illegal aliens. Conclusions: * Whether there are 8 million illegals, or 9 or 10 million (we don't know) among our 300 million US population, illegals are less than 3.4% of residents. * Yet, they are 13% of prisoners (270K / 2,079K), and 36% of those arrested and incarcerated for violent crimes (4.3% of 2,079K = 89.4K. 12% of 270K = 32.4K. 32.4 / 89.4 = 36%) * 88% of illegal alien criminals are not violent criminals, BUT illegal alien CRIMINALS are three times as likely to commit violent crime as criminals who are NOT illegal aliens (i.e. either natives, naturalized, or arrived here legally): 12% vs. 4.3%. What does that mean in the GENERAL population, not just the criminal underworld? It's BAD. In a representative sample of 10,000 US residents, there would be: 333 illegal aliens, of those 9 are jailed, and of those 1 (1.1) was arrested for violent crime. One violent criminal per 309 illegal aliens. Among the sample's 9,667 non-aliens, there would be: 60 jailed, and of those 3 (2.6) were arrested for violent crime. One violent criminal per 3,729 non-aliens. So the illegal alien GENERAL population has a propensity for violent crime 12 times that of the remainder of the US population. (3,729 / 309 = 12.1) Two things: 1) My toaster failed to kill me for the 8 billionth time. Has it made a tactical error? 2) Get me some stats showing other populations in THIS country which are overrepresented in the prisons. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm Interesting stats. What do they mean to you? |
