It could be due to reported crimes with suspect descriptions, It could be due to crime figures in the area show most crimes were committed by non whites. It could be down to the fact the people were acting suspiciosly (hanging around in gangs then attempting to hide themselves from police). It could also be due to a lot of other factors, or it could also be due to plod in that area (the Met) are still institionally racist.

Isnt it great when a government funded body only points out one set of figures to get a little bit of publicity when they know that they will have to account for themselves in possible future budget cuts, though they no doubt have access to all the relevant information from which a more balanced view could be produced?
