What if they upped that figure, would that reduce knife crime even further? Worth backing a trial.

Logically, they go with the records showing who (race/age/gender) have been found to be armed the most often. Men more than women, young more than old, and race would depend on the country.

It works

What about men vs women? Is that rampant sexism too?

50 times more likely to be guilty

So now trying to prevent crime is bad? I’ve been stopped and searched and I’m white!!!! I’m outraged that the police are trying to find deadly weapons. There’s crime statistics you can look at to help you understand.

Now do gender

I wonder if that's because they are nine times more likely to commit crimes in the area they are being stopped in Or am I just being a racist

Soon will change!!

What is this proportion in relation to those committing knife crimes? Are the Guardian wanting all groups to be searched equally e.g. 80 year old women searched in same numbers as 18 year old men?

duh!

No shit...

Why? Is this frequency in any way related to geography and crime patterns? Genuinely asking.

Do you also mean ‘all teenage boys’ in large urban areas nine times more likely to face stop & search than any other group/sub-group?

ProfARichardson Police 9 times more likely to stop and search black people. There, that puts the focus where it belongs. Let's find out why the police are guilty of this.

Is that because they're 9 times more likely to carry a weapon?

How many are arrested compared to others that are stopped and searched? Is it the same %?

thanks for this news

And brown people? When white goramem cop searches brown folks, the brown guys show them their nu'nny (popat) so lady white cop runs away.

& 50% more likely to commit violent crimes

Maybe the Police should stop, stop and search and wait till more people die and the parents start asking them to start again.

How many 80 year old Black women been stopped and searched this year?

How much more likely to be stabbed, or be carrying out a stabbing?

Unusual for to spend time and effort stirring up race hate ...

lies but i'm 30+ but I used to get stopped at-least every week in my teen and I think it's because of the way I dressed in a hoody and track suit
