BLACK MEN ADN PUBLIC SPACE

JinHyun Baek
From the article, there is this sentence "Women are particularly vulnerable to street violence, and young black males are drastically overrpresented among the perpetrators of that violence."

Actually, I agree with it because that kind of criminal is usually happened by black males, and I saw many crime by blacks from news or new papers. In the otehr sight, I think blacks perpetrate because of the ricism. Blacks' criminals can be perpetrated by prejudice and racism so they perpetrate to show their dissatisfactions to a society. I think that if people do not have racial prejudice with blacks, black perpetrators would be decreased.

Four Perpetrates?

The repetitive use of the same word can work to emphasize the idea, but it may also show your lack of vocabulary.

You are right that the black people really committed a lot of crims either to show their dissatisfaction, as you said, or to get in an illegal way something which they couldn't get legally.
Actually, both comes from the unequal treatment of society to them.
