This isn't due to any inherent racial factors—crime is overwhelmingly driven by socioeconomic conditions, not biology—but because the historical legacies of slavery, such as concentrated poverty, segregation, and intergenerational disadvantage, disproportionately affect Black communities in our real timeline. With a Black population perhaps only 1-3% of the U.S. total (mostly from post-1865 immigration rather than slave descendants), many of the structural drivers of crime tied to that demographic would be diminished or redirected.
