Increased self-esteem and forward-thinkingness
I realize that I am giving simplistic answers to a complex problem, but here goes. IMHO, it is not just black on black crime that needs to be addressed, it is crime in general.
Teach (in the public schools, religious organizations, youth organizations, etc.) anger management and conflict resolution techniques. Teach parenting. Teach ethics, empathy, and manners.
Have effective reentry programs for convicts. Currently convicts may not only have difficulty getting hired, they may also have to pay for being on probation.
Lessen the penalty for drug crimes. Sentence persons convicted of possession to rehab, not jail.
Improve schools as needed. Make sure that students know the value of an education and the disadvantages of a criminal record. Start teaching these things at an early age.
