Often see claims that self-reported crime finds similar black-white differences, but hard to find good studies. Know any large n studies?

Pretty weak study. Basing conclusion on p > alpha is not a good idea. Study had too low power.
-
One could replicate with NLSY data, though, both 97 and 79 have suitable data I think.

I have no strong feelings/prior on the matter. But I did find that black% is related to state crime even after IQ adjustment.

Lynn claims differential rates of crime related psychopathology. Self-rate data don't show this, so not sure what to think.

Rushton claimed to have found some, mostly questionnaire based, probably small n, from memory

Trouble is that lying/false responding on questionnaires is related to IQ, so there's IQ related bias when comparing groups.
-
Yes, I can see that. Pity that humans are so difficult to observe closely.
-
But findings not replicated here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cbm.541/abstract … maybe sampling error, n only 800 and crime is rare.

I read the second study as substantiating the value of self report, even for black respondents.

@slatestarcodex has looked at some of these studies, but IIRC found them wanting on the "self-reported" grounds -
OKCupid dataset can be used but it suffers from selection bias because people on dating sites are not random
