Gun and Knife Crime - breakdown by race
Does anyone know where I can find a breakdown of Knife and Gun crime by region and within that by race/ethnic origin.
It's just that watching the trailers for the new TV publicity against these crimes, the young participants appear to be overwhelmingly white. Not being perjorative, I had believed as a simple fact that the overwhelming majority of knife and gun crime was perpetrated by BME (Black and Minority Ethnic), against other BME.
I'd love to see some figures.

Read it again - Blair was talking about inequality not race. The journalist says "Blair is known to believe ...yah de yah"
The CRE just says we be afraid to talk about the issue because of race. I don't think they'd agree with you that violent crime is a predominantly a black problem - do you?
So I think you're rather disingenuous in trying to quote them as an ally.
As for where you live I have no idea so I can't comment but one example doesn't prove anything.
Under priviledged areas often are breedingrounds of violence as people look for an escape.
That dosn't mean it always happens but is predominantly so.
The Krays weren't brought up in Chelsea - and they weren't black.
