The most striking thing about murderers is their poverty. Being generally poorer than whites, blacks are more likely to commit homicide. Over 90 percent of murderers in the United States are in the lower classes. This is due to the poor having more financial, marital, and other stressful problems, which lead to interpersonal conflict and a tendency to resort to physical violence as a way of dealing with such conflict. Race is also a factor. While they make up only 12 percent of the general population, blacks account for 45 percent of the murders. This may be due to the higher rate of poverty among blacks, along with the racial discrimination against blacks, which is also a major source of frustration and alienation. Most killings are intraracial:
blacks tend to kill fellow blacks more than whites, and whites murder whites more than blacks. Interracial murders are rare because racial discrimination discourages interaction between blacks and whites.
