A Lotta Darn Criminals

How great is the likelihood of a Baltimorean being a hoodlum ?
Consider this:

70% of offenders are in the 20-40 age group. Over 90% are male.

Baltimore's male 20-30 population numbers about 44,845.
The Department of Corrections reports that 3,635 inmates, or 36.5%, are in that category.
If we assume the same percentage of Parole & Probation, that's 7,300.
If the State's Attorney plea bargains or nolle pro's about 12,000 cases only for nontechnical reasons not suggesting innocence, then 36% would amount to another 4,320 hoods on the street each year. STETs would increase that figure.

That's a total of 34% of all the males in the 20-30 age group.
One in three citywide.

Six of our 55 community planning areas together account for 30% of the criminality, yet a mere 15% of population. Another third of the city (Baltimore A) accounts for less than 3% of our criminality.

RESULT: Statistically, half of all young males from Baltimore B are likely to be criminals of recent incident.
