Such discrepancies can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as poverty, educational deficiencies, unemployment rates, unequal access to resources, lack of investment in black communities, historical oppression and systemic racism, which all lead to an array of social ills and make violent crime more probable. By addressing these social issues, we can begin to reduce and ultimately end the disproportionate rate of violent crimes committed by African Americans.
