Observations of relationships between race and crime have been part of criminological theory since its early inceptions. In early criminology this relation was used to argue that certain racially defined populations were more prone to crime than others, and in turn as motivation for policies of eugenics and even genocide. Today the issue of race and crime is especially salient in relation to the fact that in some countries there are crime rates vary significantly among racial groups. The direction of causality in the explanation of that correlation is the subject of debate. The topic continues to be part of current debates such as regarding immigration or race and intelligence.
