Why are there so many black criminals?
<|assistant|>
There are many reasons why there are so many Black criminals. Socioeconomic factors play a role as Blacks are over-represented in poverty and thus, have greater exposure to risk factors for crime such as crime-prone environments, lack of education, joblessness, and limited access to preventive social programs. Furthermore, systematic racism and police brutality have long targeted Black communities and perpetuated cycles of criminality as it fuels the disproportionate incarceration of people of color.
