the NFL player and the crime?
To assess, we calculated the yearly
arrest rate per 1,000 NFL players, by type of crime, based on 1,696 active
players each season (53 roster spots multiplied by 32 teams). One note: Each NFL
season has more active players than roster spots, so the arrest rate we've
produced here is actually a little overstated.Robert

You can find all kinds of data about all the
arrests in the NFL; tracking the alleged criminal behavior of football players
has become something of a cottage industry unto itself. With 7. 4 annual
assault/battery/domestic charges per thousand players, the league saw 34 percent
more arrests for these violent crimes than the general population; 8. 3 annual
DUI charges per thousand was 81 percent higher than the U. S. average; and 2. 2
weapons charges per thousand was 324 percent (! ) higherPhiladelphia

NFL players faced only 4. 2 drug charges per
thousand, which was actually 20 percent lower than the U. S. as a whole. * (We
can guess why: The NFL tests for recreational drugs during the season, so
there's one good reason not to use them, and some drugs also make it awfully
hard to compete at the highest athletic level. ) But comparing NFL players to
the general population does us little good.At first glance, this looks not so
great for the league.Wholesale
