Totally meaningless figures.
EG Within "Fraud offences" there will be a difference in sentencing between a £10,000 fraud or a £10m fraud or even a £113m fraud.

Britain's biggest cyber-fraudster grew so rich from a £113million scam that he flew his personal valets 8,000 miles across the world to polish his Porsches.
Feezan Hameed Choudhary, 25, described himself as ‘King’ and lived like one – jetting off around the globe to party with pop stars.

That's fantastic!

So a predominantly white criminal justice system is less likely to arrest white people and less likely to convict. Where a conviction does take place a white person is less likely to face a custodial sentence. If they do face a custodial sentence it's likely to be for a shorter period of time, and white people are more likely to be released early.

An astonishing set of statistics.

Ah, back to extrapolating a sample size of one.

Of course a better representation of reality than official statistics.

Institutionalized discrimination l would call it.

I know you love to google for stats Hugh, so here's one for you.

Is the inbalanced White, Muslim, Black imprisonment rate based on like for like crime or is it because different racial groups may commit different crimes?

You CANNOT use overall figures without looking at the make-up of those figures. If certain groups are committing more serious crimes in a category, then they are justifiably going to get longer sentences.


The highest conviction rate in those figures is for White people at 86%.

I’ll let you do the looking, since you’re putting forward the question - why should I do your research for you?

But here’s a starter for you...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...s-report-finds

People from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are more likely to be jailed for some crimes than those who are white, according to a government-commissioned report.

The investigation was given a political boost by Theresa May, who pledged to fight injustice and acknowledged, as she entered Downing Street in July: “If you’re black, you’re treated more harshly by the criminal justice system than if you’re white.”

Disproportional outcomes were particularly noticeable in certain categories of offences. For every 100 white women handed custodial sentences at crown courts for drug offences, the report found, 227 black women were sentenced to custody. For black men, the figure is 141 for every 100 white men.

Hence my question to Hugh in my previous post.

Are certain groups committing different crimes though to the extent it’d skew the figures to any meaningful extent? Or is that conjecture?

Is a white person more likely to benefit from privilege?

Nice try but if you want to prove a point then do so otherwise keep quiet.

Since neither the ONS nor the MoJ publish these datasets we're left with speculation and conjecture.

[pip08456]

So don't speculate or conjecture.

Done.

They targeted drug gangs, not any particular "racial" group. If drug gangs are disproportionately non-white, then those convicted of the more serious drug offences will inevitably be non-white.
