It would seem that everyone and everything is to blame apart from the criminals themselves.

/// The shadow Justice Secretary, Sadiq Khan, said the Government’s “complacency [on the issue] is breath-taking”. ///

/// Muzammil Quraishi, a senior lecturer in criminology and criminal justice at Salford University, said: “Young Muslim men are under the official gaze from their school days onwards ///

/// Amal Imad, of the charity Muslim Aid, suggested that poor educational performance, problems finding fulfilling jobs and family breakdown were factors in the increasing numbers of Muslims behind bars. ///

/// Mizanur Rahman, a spokesman for the organisation Muslim Prisoners, blamed the spike on Islamophobia and racism among police officers. ///

"LazyGun, I’ve read your post three times and, despite the petulant exclamation mark, still it makes no sense"

Then you have arrived at my own position with respect to your post quoting mine earlier.

/// Not sure what the point of you posting this article was AOG? I cannot work out from your replies whether you agree with it or disagree with it, perhaps it is both? ///

Then that is your problem Gromit and not mine.

/// What is this article telling you AOG? ///

That there are always some who will jump on the racist wagon or whatever other wagon that comes along so as to blame almost everybody and everything apart from the persons that their organisations are set up to protect.
