Young, minority men have the highest rate of unemployment in the United States, ranging upward to 50% even in times of prosperity. Unemployment may precipitate aggressive outbursts. Most analyses conclude that the differential rates of violence between African Americans and Caucasians in the United States have more to do with socioeconomic disparities, such as poverty, unemployment, and overcrowding, than with race.

Communities across the United States are concerned about crime and violence rates because of significant mortality and morbidity that often result.
