LOL, there is nothing like bending statistics to match what you want eh.
Perhaps three times as many black people are involved in crimes, so the rate "per crime" is lower.
I'm sure more bending and 'per this'/'per that' could be rolled out.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics - still as true as ever.
