    Oi, I like rap music, as do many people I know - none of them are criminals ;-)

    Personally I blame computer games. And television. And dungeons and dragons.

      Possibly because the country is systemicaly racist?
      The police go after black people. The courts are more likely to convict and the judges more likely to give a custodial sentence to a black person?
      When I was in Lancaster nick there were very few black chaps, but lots of Scousers and Weegies.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        Maybe also collapse of family unit and a self-perpetuating system of crappy role models.

        From your second sentence you obviously know that us Weeggies are a all natural born crims. Anyone telling you anything else is trying to lull you into a false sense of security.

          The smartest/best educated may not be getting caught, or know how close they can sail into the wind without getting caught, or know other immoral legal ways of getting on. So perhaps more education is what’s needed.

            It's probably a combination of some systemic racism and the fact that much of inner city black culture sees the usual route to success (doing well at school etc) as being "white". There is, as usual, a combination of factors to blame.

              The number of black people in prison as a proportion of the total population was 7.3 in 1,000.

              That compares to 1.3 per 1,000 for white people and 1.7 per 1,000 for Asian people.

              or there are seven times more black people in the UK.

              Which is it?
              errr doesnt the fact the numbers are per 1000 people make the last option redundant?
