Race and crime
You're right that the sentence doesn't quite fit in that section, but you should never just delete well sourced material without giving a good reason. The best thing to do is to look for a better place for the text, or create a new section for it.

That article is extremely messed up from previous attempts by people to create a racist article. The concept "race and crime" is pretty large, and should include a lot of sociological context... unfortunately it was used as dumping ground for context-less data (and sometimes personal interpretations of those data). Check out the talk page and its archives for more info on that.

You'll probably find that most of the "Race and ..." articles are pretty controvercial, and also in need of people versed in the relevant academic literature to fix them up. Help out if you can, but make sure your edits are neutral and balanced. NJGW (talk) 22:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
