13% of the population (blacks, per FBI stats) commit 50% of violent crime. But that's actually wrong. Once you adjust for sex and age, it's roughly 4% of the population (Male, blacks, ages 12-35) commit 50% of violent crime.

I've never ran the numbers myself. But if I remember correctly, the stat was specifically about violent crime.

Ty. Fixed. You are correct. 50% of violent crime and 80+% of all crime.
