They don't want to exacerbate racial disparities, which is noble. They could have used that as their sole justification, but for some reason they also try to say that the crime datasets are inaccurate. Their reasoning for this is surprisingly weak. Regarding the National Crime Victimization Survey: "And there are troubling signs of this [racial bias]: in the 2019 survey, people reporting crimes were more likely to describe their offender as young, male, and Black than would be expected given the representation of those groups in the population."

I'll take the male/female angle because that's less loaded than the racial angle.

Men commit more crimes than women. They just do. That's reality, not a sign of gender bias in the reporting.

One of the ways European and Asian men are racist is by refusing to commit more crime.

Men probably commit more violent crimes but I dont think that the numbers are too far off when counting all crime
