The federal prison population is 34% hispanic, so that ratio matches the Ten Most Wanted pretty well. It’s 7% female, which is also pretty close, but 38% black. I wonder whether the most serious criminals are really 40% WASP (we Norwegian-German-Americans feel a bit left out), or whether the choice is political. It might be interesting to look at the ethnic make-up over time. The FBI has a list of everybody who’s ever been Most Wanted at http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/ten-most-wanted-fugitives-faq/.
