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
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
A reminder that a third of rail suicides occur on a line going through Southall, which is the area with the highest concentration of Sikhs in the UK (1 in 3 are Sikh)
Women's rights groups claimed this is because of the 'prevalence of domestic violence in Asian families.'
Take the case of Sikh woman Navjeet Sidhu, who jumped in front of a train holding her young children, after telling her arranged-marriage husband she was leaving.
Asian women have a suicide rate 9 times higher than the female average.
