...which means the majority of young males have a police record and hate the police state. Way to avoid revolution, smart guys.
I think Texas has a weird system about being tardy or truant in school that involves going to court. I wonder if that has an influence on these numbers
Were those 33% of kids breaking the law, or were they rounded up Gestapo-style for being (religion/race/color/disability/smart/dumb/etc)? way to go, parents & teachers!
I got arrested at age 20 for open container and drinking underage. I learned my lesson, paid my fine, and got on with my life with a new respect for society's laws. Fucking fascist cops!!
You can't really take a two-handed Broadsword of Doom to your neighbor's cat for the 8 experience points and 2% chance of finding magical treasure without consequences. This is the real world, maxiep. Roll the 20-sided like everyone else. Unless you're LARP-ing with Channing Frye, that is.
33% arrested, included in that is underage drinking. So they missed about 60% of those committing crimes.

A guy commits no crime and the police torture him to death. The City of Spokane spends years covering it up and hiding convenience store tapes. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2017083878_spokane24m.html Then we kill 1.5 million Iraqis because we think our system is better than theirs.
No, Iraqis killed 1.5M of their neighbors. In part b/c there weren't enough law enforcement to prevent it. Like the dozens who died after we left the country this week. It's a pleasant fiction, though, for someone with your worldview.
And in keeping with my view, I hope that anyone responsible for breaking the law is punished. That's not the view of the majority of the people commenting on this, though.
