Black people in England and Wales are nine times more likely to be stopped and searched by police than white people, new official figures show.
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.
