The most reputable source, full stop, is the U.S government's crime statistic web pages. This is where all of the germane information on this subject is drawn from. The problem? Well, do you really want to have to sit there constructing your own data-set using the information yourself? I have spent a few hours doing just this; the information from my attempts at constructing limited samples from the archives do not in anyway differ from the parties that have constructed complete reports.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'reputable'. If you are assuming that the parties who have produced (or rather, collected) the information from the government pages are all a bunch of hood-wearing (because heaven forbid only a racist would point out something self-evident!) cross-burning, celebrated editors for some publication like Spearhead or Vanguard then you are certainly mistaken. If you're naive enough to think that there is a plethora of budding criminologist PhDs out there just itching to publish their disertation on disparities in crime rates between racial groups, then you are simply ignorant to the political climate. Experts don't talk about this stuff (and certainly don't write about it) for a reason; they don't want to lose their jobs or worse. Though I'm sure they all know. Hell, the man on the street knows without the need for access to enormous amounts of police information. The dearth that paradoxically results from this abundance is a matter of mere mokita and nothing more.
Onto the sources..
One of the best sources is the New Century Foundation's excellent Color of Crime. I forgot when it was published, but its creation was just a matter of doing what I attempted to do (to verify said information) up there; going to the U.S crime statistics and piecing together crimes by race and then ranking them. The same pattern, for almost every crime, emerged predictably; blacks always way ahead of any other group, followed (generally) by hispanics, whites, and then finally Asians coming up the rear. One of the primary conclusions was that blacks, as a group, were far more likely than whites to commit crimes than men (of any group) were to commit crimes than women. Indeed, that is what the data showed..
The New Century Foundation I believe was founded by Jared Taylor, a Yale/Sorbonne graduate who interestingly enough used to be somewhat of an egalitarian. He has many detractors from the usual suspects; the ADL, SPLC, etc. but at the same time many admirers even from those who vehemently disagree with him; he is praised for his high sense of liberal fair-play, eloquence, friendliness and a dedication to the quest for truth (how academics used to behave before the progressive epoch). He is also highly controversial (editor-in-chief of the I must remark excellent monthly publication American Renaissance) which you must take into consideration. The 'Color of Crime' is an excellent starting point for anybody interested in uncovering this information.
Another writer courageous enough to discuss these issues at length is Heather MacDonald, an ex-lawyer and Harvard graduate. She has published several works discussing crime disparities at length. She might still write for the City-Journal, but I'm not entirely sure.
