- Men make up about half of the general population, but in 2016, they accounted for 62 percent of arrests for property crimes.
- Sociological research has long shown that people of lower social position are involved in most arrests for street crime.
- With regard to property crime, whites represent 70 percent of all arrests, and African Americans account for 27 percent. But in proportion to their share of the population (about 13 percent), African Americans are more likely than whites to be arrested.
