This will probably surprise a lot of people, it did me a bit.

But all males contains a lot of poor people which are more likely to commit crime.


A better comparison would be against males 20-39 that make $50,000 or more a year.
I must be missing something here.  A university actually had to conduct a study showing this?

I'd hope the rate of professionals making the salaries they make would be lower than the general public.

Or to those making the equivalent salary of NFL players.

I always wonder what the numbers would be like if they counted the times NFL players SHOULD get arrested, but don't because they are in the NFL.  Still probably lower, but would be interesting (and impossible) to find out.
