It's not a simple question because I cannot tell if you mean in overall numbers or per capita of each race.
If you mean a whole, then white create more crime since whites make up the majority in this country.
If you mean per capita, then it's a hard question to answer. There are a bunch of things to consider...like whether or not there are cultural biases in certain laws that will cause people to more easily violate that law, for example urinating in public is a crime in most parts of the United States but it's an everyday thing in many foreign countries, even in cities.

Yes, strictly because there are more white people to committ crimes. So if you look at only the number of crimes committed then yes. However, proportionally disadvantaged minorities commit more crimes. I also think it bears noting that race is really not so much a factor as is socio-economic standing in society.

Really now: I think your just trying to open a can of worms! It has nothing to do with color. People in all races create crime. To say one race commits more than the other is just preposterous. You should have asked do ignorant people create more crime the those who are not? That's what it boils down to. If you have common sense or not. Color has nothing to do with it.

It's not a simple question, because it depends on what kind of crime you're talking about..
And what country you're in.
In the US, I'd say almost all white collar corporation crimes are done by whites, and most of them get away with it.
Street crimes, I don't know.
And how do other minorities fit in to your very broad question? Are hispanics white, in your book?
Anyway, who cares?

If you look at the number of whites and blacks in prison
blacks by far have more in prison.
But when it comes to serial murders, white people are more likely to commit.
I think a criminal is a criminal no matter what the race.
PS
If you ask a question, dont tell us how to answer.

White people seem to have more access to power, therefore when they commit crimes, the results impact more people.
So, Yes.

yes not to put people into "groups" or anything but white males between the ages of 13 and 19 start their criminal background and then become career criminals because they are used to a certain way of life

If you include mass murders under the justified label of wars--Europe was built on bloodshed.
The Colonial Wars, the War of American Independence, World Wars 1, 2 etc etc...Yes.

Crime is committed regardless of ethnic or religious divides. If either one of the races do have a majority it would be just a statistic.
