Confidential Scotland Yard statistics, leaked to a London newspaper, have proven that knife crime in London is an overwhelmingly non-white phenomena, with 165 of the 225 under-18s legally ‘proceeded against’ for knife offences in the past three months, being from the black or other non-white communities.According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 attackers were white. Despite being a small minority of the knife wielding criminals, whites do however comprise the single largest group of knife-crime victims.
According to the confidential Scotland Yard report, whites comprised 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months. This figure is probably higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race.
This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has overtaken terrorism as the top priority for London police.
Sir Paul made the remarks as he announced a specialist knife-crime unit to tackle teenagers carrying blades in the capital. It will use a 75-strong team of specialist officers to target gang members and their associates.
Detective Inspector George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives (strange that no-one thinks it is ‘racist’ for their to be a ‘Black Law Enforcement’ organisation, we wonder what they would say if there was a ‘White Law Enforcement’ agency?), was quoted as saying: “In the black community we are all aware that there is major concern with gun and knife crime. Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected by absent fatherhood, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”
Around 59 per cent of black Caribbean children and 54 per cent of mixed-race youngsters are looked after by a lone parent. In the white British population, the figure is 22 per cent.
