[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1557915, member: 12952"] According to Ferguson’s federal census data, there are 1,182 black women in Ferguson between the ages of 25 and 34. In comparison, however, there are only 577 black men within the same age range. The gap is smaller but still vast in other age ranges; black men are about 40 percent below the numbers they should have for the 20-24 and 35-54 age ranges. The biggest causes of the disappearing black men are representative of crippling social dysfunctions in Ferguson. Hundreds of men from the city are in prison, while others fall through the cracks of census data due to problems like homelessness and crippling substance abuse. Law enforcement is a young man’s job (only 13 percent of police are over 55), and with so much dysfunction in the black community, Bronars says, altering the racial makeup of the police department will be far harder than it seems.
