<|assistant|>
African Americans commit the highest crime rate in the US. According to FBI crime statistics, African Americans have an adjusted crime rate index which is approximately double that of whites. The majority of the crimes committed by African Americans are concentrated in urban settings and often related to drug and gang activity. Additionally, poverty and lack of access to economic and educational opportunities have been identified as contributing factors towards African American criminal activity.
