What race of people commit the highest crime rate in the US and why?
<|assistant|>
According to FBI crime statistics, African Americans commit the highest crime rate of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. This is largely due to the high poverty rate among African Americans and the associated environmental, emotional, and social factors that create an atmosphere ripe for criminal behavior. Additionally, disparities in income, education, and access to resources create further divisions between the African American population and the broader society which can lead to further crime and unrest. Furthermore, police brutality and systematic racism have created further strained relations between law enforcement and the African American community which may further contribute to crime.
