About this listen
Using statistics, facts, charts, arguments never heard before, and common sense, this book factually challenges many firmly held beliefs, such as “Blacks make up 13% of the population but commit half of the violent crimes.” Offering a comprehensive examination of street crime in America's inner cities, it navigates diverse topics with clarity. Drawing from various disciplines, the author explores how mental illness, systemic racism, black apathy, drugs, family breakdown, American values, and the financial gains from illicit activities fuel a destructive cycle of violence and crime. Beyond analyzing the social and environmental impact of street crime, the book delves into potential solutions for this urgent social issue and delivers the information with straight talk that anyone can understand.
Critics strongly suggested a series, but this thorough and honest work stands as the pinnacle of African American criminology, making it a must-read for understanding the origins of urban crime and finding positive outcomes.
