Why does it matter if it's repeated offenses? It still shows that blacks are assessed at a higher rate than whites.

Repeat offices will get you a harsher sentence. And that article by Marc Mauer also says that blacks commit proportionately more crimes. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's not systematic.

That's reported crimes though.Obviously blacks are going to get caught more frequently committing crimes if more effort is put on catching them.
