A Sky news Freedom of Information request to every police force in the country showed London was unique in the racial breakdown of knife crime – black men made up 44% of victims and 48% of suspects.In contrast, white people in London make up 60% of the population, but only account for 35% of murder victims and 24% of murder suspects. In February, during the Home Affairs committee which examined progress made in racial equality in the Met since the Stephen Lawrence murder, his mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, criticised the ongoing disproportionality. She told the room: “If the amount of white kids were being murdered in our streets as the amount of black kids, society would not have sat back and allowed that to happen. But that’s allowed to happen to our kids.”
