Yes, and the data narrows even further when you consider that commission of violent crimes tilts heavily toward young urban males. The latest NYC crime report is a rich data set, and holds no punches: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/dow...ent-report.pdf

We have a few good indicators of why disparities in race and crime may occur, across genetics (MAO-A gene), social science (fatherlessness), and even demographic distribution in cities (racially homogeneous and culturally impenetrable high-crime subsections of large urban areas). Society has decreed that it's taboo to study it, and our punishment for that is more violence and blame-shifting. The irony is that we truly are a diverse people, with different races, ethnicities, and genders offering various pluses and minuses. We won't earn the right to enjoy the good points and address the bad points if we can't discuss them openly.
