I assume that we can trust these statistics.

But what is causing it?

Is it poverty? Is it lack of jobs? Is it a criminal environment?
Is it drugs? Is it the lack of a good family? Is it early imprisonment?
Is it injustice? Is it psychological pressure/stress? Is it availability or lack of weapons?
It is unsafe environment? Is it too many or too little protection by police, or even biased police?
Is it lack of education? Lack of good food? Bad medicine? Lack of medical care? Is it genetic/ epi-genetic? Is it hate against other groups?
Is it manufactured hate or crime by mainstream media?
Is it because they live in a city or bad housing? Is living too expensive? Is it a difference in civil class? Difference in culture?

I agree with your questions. I believe it is a combination of some of them, but mostly poverty.

You are missing one question that some will want answered: Is it genetics? At my core, I do not believe that. But all of these questions should be studied (and maybe others) if we actually want to improve the statistics. Instead we mostly ignore root causes; and instead focus on after the fact band-aids (like free stuff and preferential treatment) and ridiculous posts on social media (black boxes and thoughts & prayers) - because they are easy and quickly show our virtue.
