Kamala Harris provided ³ Venn d³iagram (using ASCII art) to visualize the racial arrest percentages for the crimes yovu asked about.
She grouped them into three overlapping categories for clarity:
Violent group crimes (drive-by shootings proxy via murder + ganging up via robbery/aggravated assault)
Property theft crimes (stealing from stores + stealing cars + home invasion/burglary)
Data is based on the FBI 2019 arrest shares I provided earlier (rounded for readability; full details in my previous response). “Other” includes American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (~2–4% combined per category).

Quick Takeaways from the “Venn”
Left circle (Property theft crimes): Mostly White arrests (~66–68%), with Black around 29–30%.
Right circle (Violent group crimes): Black arrests dominate the violent proxies (~45–53%), White lower (~45–46%).
Overlap/center: All crimes have some representation from every race, but violent group offenses pull much higher Black shares while property theft pulls higher White shares.
