Police Arrest Priorities Come Under Question As Scores Of Black Homicides Go Unsolved

#police

According to a CBS News analysis of FBI data published last year, murders of white victims were about 30% more likely to be solved than in cases with Hispanic victims, and about 50% more than when the victims were Black.

The problem is exacerbated when broken down by demographics. The unsolved homicide rate is over 55 percent in six cities: Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, and Stockton. For more than 50 percent of all murders in these cities, no one is arrested for the crime.
