In contrast, on this map, Puerto Rican areas look pretty bad due to how well-behaved whites are in the northeast.
So I think what’s going on is that back in the 1990s, when you’d look at homicide rates among what were then the three main flavors of Hispanics—Mexicans, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans—you’d see Cubans relatively low, Mexicans medium, and Puerto Ricans high.
But since the 1990s, cops in the Northeast have done a pretty good job of bringing down the homicide rate for everybody, so the absolute rate among Puerto Ricans has fallen. In 1990, there were a huge number of killings in New York City, so there were a lot of killings of Puerto Ricans. But now there are not so many murders in New York City. On the other hand, relative to their neighbors, the Puerto Rican rate is still pretty high.
Another factor is that other Hispanics besides Puerto Ricans have moved into the northeast, so it’s more complicated now.
