Why are there so many black criminals?
<|assistant|>
Many sociologists argue that race and socio-economic disadvantage are highly correlated. Race is highly structured within our society and can have a major impact on a person's life and opportunities. For instance, when an individual is raised in a low-income neighborhood, or faces institutional racism that limits educational and employment opportunities, the chances of them turning to crime increases. Therefore, there are a high number of black criminals due to historical and contemporary structural factors that prevent access to educational, economic, and employment opportunities.
