Critics often point out that disproportionate rates of violent crime and victimization tend to be higher in African-American communities. Offer three structural factors that might explain this trend (by “structural” reasons we mean reasons outside the individual that might help explain personal motivations to commit crime). How is this related to the Black Lives Matter Movement?

Three structural factors that explain the high rates of violence and victimization against African Americans are injustice, racism, and discrimination.

Afro-American communities are all those communities made up of American descendants of Africans brought to America during the colony.

These communities have been affected over the years because since their arrival they were treated as objects and slaves and the situation was culturally perpetuated in the social imaginary despite the struggles for civil rights and the rights granted to them.

  • Racism is one of the structural causal factors of violence against African Americans. This type of discrimination makes people with other skin colors feel superior to African Americans and have the right to mistreat or attack them for this reason.

  • Discrimination goes beyond racism. The Afro-descendant community has to deal with all kinds of discrimination due to their social status, their beliefs, their cultural customs, their way of speaking, expressing themselves, and dressing, among others.

  • Despite the recognition of hundreds of rights for the Afro-descendant community, on many occasions, violence against the Afro-descendant community does not have the same impact as in other similar cases. This differentiated treatment causes the community to have a feeling of injustice towards their condition and unequal treatment.

These factors are related to the case of George Floyd because the police brutality of which he was a victim was unjustified by imageries such as racism and discrimination in the individual who killed him. In addition, the case had worldwide visibility due to the ineffectiveness of the judicial system once the murder occurred.
