Criminals have a low regard for all laws. It's in the definition. ;)

The point in the data gathering is that race and ethnicity are two different things. You can be any race, or a combination of races, and still be Hispanic. I know a family who are very Anglo in appearance, manner and language, but who are still Hispanic, officially, because the father is from Portugal.

I didn't think you were trying to make a big deal out of ethnicity. Looking at how criminal behavior breaks down is very valuable, both for what it indicates and for what it rules out. However, someone else was trying to make a point that had no substantiation to speak of.

If you look at the presentation on Hispanic victims, you will find that assault is more prevelant among Hispanics, that is, the threat of violence. Workplace violence -- the classic postal syndrome -- appears to be more prevelant among whites. Which may mean Hispanics have more heated arguments and whites have more unarticulated, unfocused rage. Yes?
