Between 1985 and 2011, Washington’s homicide rate dropped by 26%, robbery fell 27%, and violent crime in general was cut by 30%; but the city’s black population also dropped by 27% during this same period

Official FBI statistics indicate that blacks are over 600% as likely to commit homicide as non-blacks and their robbery rate is over 700% larger. Generally, the most effective way to reduce crime in a city is to reduce the size of its black population.
