On Black Homicide:
Black homicide has been studied because for the longest time, we have focussed in the U.S, on Black/White issues. That does not by any means indicate that these problems are limited to these racial groups, in the U.S. or elsewhere.On Monday, October 30, Juan Carlos Mejia wrote:
This gragh shows the difference in Homicide rates between white men and black men. The age ranges from birth to 85+. The center column represents the ages of the subjects shown in 5 yr. interims. The independent variable is race, while the dependent variable is the Homicide rates of each race. I would classify this data as interval data because it is arranged in order but not in high-low type. Black Homicide rates, according to the graph, are higher than white Homicide rates in every category. Especialy in the under 1 category and between the ages 15-50.One thing that confused me was that the graph shows that no Black Men die past the age of 85. According to the graph: black men do not live to that age so they do not die or what?
Thank you, Juan Carlos. Once again, you give me good material to work with.
