Description

Definitions:

Criminality: the quality or state of being criminal
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/criminality

African American: an American of African and especially of Black African descent
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/African%20American

Socioeconomic: of, relating to, or involving a combination of social and economic factors
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socioeconomic

I believe that disproportionate criminality in African-American communities is entirely a consequence of socioeconomic factors.
