One study found that 42% of offenders re-offended (either a sex crime, violent crime, or both) after they were released. Risk for re-offense was highest in the first 6 years after release, but continued to be significant even 10–31 years later, with 23% offending during this time. [ 194 ]
African American public school students are most likely to be assigned to special-education classes." I find this statement very POV, coming as it does, under the rubric of "Slavery and Oppression".

The National Prisoner Statistics series of 2016 reported 22,744 Native Americans were incarcerated in state and federal facilities and represented 2.1 to 3.7% of the federal offender population during 2019 despite only accounting for 1.7% of the United States population.
Crime rates in low-income areas are much higher than in middle to high class areas. As a result, incarceration rates in low-income areas are much higher than in wealthier areas due to these high crime rates.

A study of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's arrest data for the 1990s reveals that the rise in detention was unrelated to crime rates. That is, detention as a tactic of controlling young offenders has little to nothing to do with the rate of crime or the "threat" that youth pose to the public. [25]
In addition to missing homicides, some SHR reports that are filed can be missing information, such as that regarding the victim's age, gender, or race, or regarding the identity of the offender. [4] This missing information can also include the offender's age, gender, or race, which was omitted from 31% of SHR reports filed in 2011. [5]
Although violent crime and sexual assault rates are high in Native American reservations, prosecution for these crimes is relatively low. In 2007, on the Navajo Nation, of the 329 rape cases reported among a population of 180,000 individuals, only 17 arrests were made in five years.
