Race and crime in the United States

Regarding your comment at the subject article, one should edit boldly and be prepared for a reversion followed by a discussion. It is normal and healthy for edits to be reverted and then discussed (sometimes heatedly); it forces all of us to be as honest and factual as possible, and fosters a Darwinian environment where the best edits survive. I'm no expert, but I like to recommend that everybody read the wikipedia "how to" on references because it helps to let people know where information comes from so that we're on the same page (as it were).
