Crime statistics don't lie

@QueenOfQuirk: Actually they can lie. To paint a certain picture. Statistics aren't always objective. Meaning the extent of the crime, not the actual crimes carried out.
Research into how they're collected shows exactly that. Crime statistics are usually a record of crimes that are recorded by the police, rather than those reported to them..
Plus high profile cases are always conveniently on the rise, which similarly explains the amount of black people you have in prison compared to white too. Though no denying those that ARE criminals.
Plus, idk what statistics you're referring to since the west is a big place but speaking from experience and statistics from here, i can assure you that "most" do adapt.
