How come the violent crime figures for those areas is high, compare to their respective counties.
I remember a documentary from many years ago, where Ann Cryer went around Keighley talking to white people. They showed many accounts of girls being harassed when walking down the streets. They also interviewed a group of old people who had been "violently" forced out of sitting in one park, because of claims by a certain group that is was "Our area". They showed the elderly sitting in another park instead, and
actually showed stones being thrown at them to force them out of that one. Of course in the documentary(possibly by Ann Cryer herself or David Aaronovitch) it was passed off as "youthful exuberance". Believe it or not, that was the term used. No way would that have been used in reference if the "races" were the other way around.
Not the same documentary:-

Mrs Cryer spoke of how she was approached by seven mothers in 2003, who said their young daughters were being sexually groomed by gangs of overwhelmingly Mirpuri Pakistani men outside their school gates.
She said these mothers complained of not being listened to by the authorities when they tried to seek help, adding that she also received no co-operation when she intervened on behalf of the women.
"Friends of mine in the Labour Party knew about it [grooming] for years and never mentioned it to me," she said.
