Charlie Martel 732AD says:

The media does all it can to hide these facts about crime. This certainly hinders law enforcement and diminishes people's good sense when it comes to crime avoidance, thus leading to more crime victims. Scapegoating the higher incarceration rates of blacks and Hispanics on whites also promotes hatred of whites and hate crimes against them.
