Re: Dutch to ban the wearing of the Burka?

And victims of crime? Any concern that ethnic minority groups are more likley to be victims?

"In 2002/03, adults from a Mixed race or Asian background were more likely than those from other ethnic groups to be victims of crime in England and Wales. Almost half (46 per cent) of adults of Mixed race had been the victim of a crime in the previous 12 months. This compared with 30 per cent of Asians. Black adults and those from the †˜Chinese or otherââ‚ÆšÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ group experienced similar levels of crime to White people." For example
