Parts of the UK’s Black community face a “serious crisis” with young people becoming involved in crime, Members of Parliament have said.
A House of Commons home affairs committee said the number of Black men in the criminal justice system was “unacceptable”.
It blamed social exclusion, absent fathers, lack of positive role models and, of course, Whites, saying that “real or perceived racial discrimination by the authorities” somehow contributed to the Black crime rate. This is a usual tactic: blame Whites for non-White failure, instead of looking to the real cause.
This was a “serious crisis” for “sections of black communities and for some young people of a mixed ethnic background,” the committee’s report says.
“Lack of confidence in the criminal justice system may mean some young black people take the law into their own hands or carry weapons in an attempt to distribute justice and ensure their own personal safety.”
Black people make up 2.7% of the UK population aged 10 to 17, but represent 8.5% of those in that age group arrested in England and Wales, the report said.
It also said black people were more likely to be “stopped and searched” by police. And it found that three in four young black men would soon be on the national DNA database.
