Do the crime statistics reflect ethnic, or economic differences?
<font color=navy>Elliott (1994) found that, at the peak age of offending (17 years), 36 percent of black males and 25 percent of white males reported that they had committed one or more serious violent offenses, a differential that is far less than that found in studies using official records (Wolfgang, Figlio, and Sellin, 1972). Elliott (1994) also found that nearly twice as many blacks as whites continued violent offending into early adulthood, a difference borne out in the official data. Elliott argues that even though racial differences are small, race becomes especially salient in the transition from adolescence to adulthood. In a tight labor market, young blacks have been more likely to have fewer economic opportunities and become dependent on gang crime and other illegal economies for income.</font>
