Actually, race is the single best predictor of how much crime to expect in a given area. Besides population already in prison, at least.

I think it's a red herring to ask why we're collecting the data in order to decide whether or not the data are accurate.

Really? That would be interesting data to look at. Do you have a source?

I don't care why we're collecting the data, and I was assuming the data was accurate. I'm just saying that as far as genetic differences are a factor in the data, there's nothing we can do about it or with it, so it's useless.
