1/ Recent years have seen a surge in violent crimes in London:
• Sexual offences at all-time high
• Knife crime at an all-time high (with only 1 in 6 solved)
• Teenage murders at all-time high
• Increase in muggings and robberies

2/ After a FOIA request, we can observe the ethnic groups committing the majority of violent crime.
First let's establish the demography of London:
• 53.8% White*
• 20% Asian
• 13.5% Black
• 6.3% Other
3/ *It's important to highlight that almost one-third of Whites in London are not of British origin, including Albanians, who represent the most extensive crime network in the UK and are hugely overrepresented in the prison system (1 in 100 Albanians are currently in jail).
4/ Let's start with Homicide Offences
White: 29.12%
Black: 59.34%
Black individuals are arrested for homicide at a rate 8.12 times higher than Whites. To put this in context, men are only nine times more prone to commit murder compared to women globally.
5/ It’s worth noting that homicides perpetrated by non-White groups are more likely to occur in the street, whereas White homicides tend to be located in domestic settings

6/ Now let's have a look at Gun Offences
White: 26.42%
Black: 64.15%
Black individuals are arrested for gun offences at a rate 9.68 times higher than Whites
7/ Moving onto Knife Offences
White: 36.50%
Black: 47.40%
Blacks are arrested for knife crime offences at a rate 5.18 times higher than Whites
8/ However the London Assembly revealed that 61% of knife-related homicides were by individuals from the Black community

8/ Robbery Offences
White: 32.58%
Black: 52.86%
Blacks are arrested for robbery offences at a rate 6.47 times higher than Whites. Additionally, Blacks are 320% more likely to be the perpetrators rather than victims
9/ Sexual Offences
White: 48.15%
Black: 29.58%
Black individuals are 2.45x more likely to be arrested than Whites. Black community sees a 65.44% higher chance of perpetration, while Whites are 13.05% more likely to be victims
10/ Violence Against the Person Offences
White: 48.56%
Black: 33.02%
Black individuals are 2.71x more likely to be arrested for Violence Against the Person Offences than Whites. They're also 91.87% more likely to be perpetrators.
11/ Youth crime has also become a significant concern.
Incidents involving large groups, predominantly of Black youth, engaging in activities like store looting have become common in the capital
Two-thirds of youth arrested in London are non-White

12/ Despite these statistics, there are initiatives in place to make Stop & Search proportional to population sizes for the Black community
In a post-Floyd world, where minority groups are pandered to, it can only get worse. We need genuine solutions and recognition of the issue
