Notes
1. The only whites involved in attacks on blacks are police officers.
2. Of the 4 lone white criminals 1 was unarmed, 1 was gun-armed, 1 knife-armed, and 1 was armed with a mallet
3. Of the 5 lone black criminals 1 was unarmed, 2 were knife-armed, and 2 were gun-armed
4. Of the 4 black women 1 was knife-armed, 1 club-armed, and 2 unarmed
5. Of the 5 black men attacked 4 were attacked by black women and 1 by a pair of black youths
6. Of the 30 criminal groups only one was armed, with a single member having a knife, this indicates that group tactics have superseded armed tactics as a means of avoiding criminal charges.
7. Of the 43 violent crimes only 4 were reported to the police, a fatal shooting, a fatal stabbing, a vigilante beating, and the stabbing of a woman by three youths. No arrests were made in connection with the beating or non-fatal stabbing.
8. Of the 7 police aggressions 5 targeted black youths and 2 white adults
Conclusion
I am no longer collecting accounts full time, with these 50 incidents being incidentally recorded over the past 3 years. This is not a broad enough sample to predict risks beyond the North/Northeast Baltimore to Eastern Baltimore County axis which I frequent.
The 2 dominant numbers reflect the fact that most violent crimes in Northeast Baltimore involve groups of black men and youth attacking lone white adult males. The lone aggressors demonstrate similar behaviors across racial lines.
