Rudolph Giuliani has offered the citizens of the USA the following insight into crime in the USA-
“If I were a black father and I was concerned about the safety of my child – really concerned about it and not in a politically activist sense – I would say, ‘Be very respectful to the police, most of them are good, some can be very bad and just be very careful’,” Mr Giuliani explained.
“I'd also say, ‘Be very careful of those kids in the neighbourhood, don't get involved with them because son, there's a 99 per cent chance they're going to kill you, not the police’.”

As a large proportion of women in the US are murdered or raped by their husbands, partners or men known to them, would Rudolph Giuliani suggest that women not get involved -let alone consider marriage and the family- with 'the kids in the neighbourhood' who are more likely to rape and kill them than the police? But I guess in the long term it would help reduce overcrowding in neglected urban neighbourhoods...
Have we not moved on from the 'fascinating sociology' of Daniel Moynihan and Charles Murray?
