Criticism

Regarding Jews, the ADL writes that "Taylor eschews

Seeing Jews as white, greatly influential and the "conscience of society," Taylor rather seeks to partner with Jews who share his views on race and racial diversity" and "Jews have been speakers or participants at all eight American Renaissance conferences" although controversy followed accusations by David Duke, who was not a scheduled presenter, at the 2006 conference.

''The Color of Crime''

''The Color of Crime'' is a publication by Jared Taylor that describes race differences in criminal delinquency in the United States. It was published as a monograph in 1999 and as revised editions in electronic form in 2005 and again in 2016.(Archived by WebCite® at ). It examines US

s than do whites. He further argues that there is more black-on-white interracial crime than there is white-on-black crime. Taylor claims that police are not biased against blacks or other ethnic groups. He states that research into race differences in criminal behavior is a worthwhile pursuit and suggests that the US immigration policy should consider these differences.


Criticism

In ''The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge to Integration'' (Cambridge University Press, 2002), Carol M. Swain observed that the New Century Foundation faxed conclusions from the publication to major US newspapers, and that its stated purpose was to support the practice of racial profiling. The

wrote an essay titled ''The Color of Deception'' as a rebuttal to ''The Color of Crime''. His essay used data from the FBI and BJS showing that interracial crimes are actually fairly rare; that the vast majority of black (and white) crime is committed against victims of the same race; that whites still account for the majority of crime in the United States; and that part of the reason blacks are over-represented for many crime categories is their neighborhoods are generally much more heavily policed and black suspects are significantly less likely to be acquitted or released with a warning. The article also uses statistical data to argue that blacks are actually over-represented as victims of interracial violence per capita (arguing blacks are 50% more likely to be victims of interracial violence than pure chance would predict), and that overall, white criminals pose the greatest threat to white Americans and black criminals pose the greatest threat to black Americans. In the book, ''Hate Crimes'', Beirichs & Hicks refer to ''The Color of Crime'' as noteworthy examples of "academic racists who specialize in 'proving' the inferiority of those with dark skin".
