They seem to have targeting white girls because they saw them as more easy to exploit, i.e the background, rather than the colour of their skin. That does add an element of race to it but not quite in the same way as a 'racially motivated crime'. Their race wasn't the motivation but a means they used to find victims who they viewed as easier to exploit. Although I can't find a quote. |
Exactly. There might be a lot of asian girls in Rochford, but it's going to be a lot more difficult plying a asian (and most likely ) muslim girl who is very likely not to drink or smoke, with alcohol or booze in the first instance, than a young girl who is already drinking or who doesnt see drink as being haraam. It's also going to be a lot harder picking up asian muslim girls as I doubt they would be out and about on their own that much.
If I was a thief I would be robbing the car were the doors had been left unlocked, not one where I would need to smash the quarter glass. I hope the analogy makes some sense.
Racially motivated crime, I doubt it very much.
Hideous crime - we all agree it was.
