glasgow was the knife capital of europe a few decades ago. A couple of my pals at school were stabbed seriously. This was in an affluent area.

I don't know what the stats are these days, but I find it extraordinary that someone gets shot in the head and it's classified almost as a typical everyday occurrence

Exactly. Was it ever then called a "white crime" though?

I mean if you don't want people to respond to your posts in the debate section of the forum, It's probably not the right section for you tbh

And that's just it. The majority of gun and knife crime is carried out by black people ON black people. Black kids under 18 are especially vulnerable.
I think the only way forward is for the community to work with the police.

…he makes so much sense and I’m inclined to agree with much of what he’s says…it’s that dismissing of certain crimes when committed by ‘black’ but when the same crimes are committed by ‘white’ then reasons have to be looked at…why is that…?…’black knife/gun crime’ is dismissed as such and therefore no looking into reasons is necessary with areas of more violence…

Well yeah exactly, it's dismissing it as a crime linked to skin colour which is just not true as we've seen it happen elsewhere with predominately white people, then though they actually looked at what was causing young people to turn to crime and gangs and really helped solve the problem (or at least lessen it)

…that’s the only way to hope for any progression, is to look at ‘why’ and ask questions and that’s been proven as you say in areas that seem to be more solving of violent crime issues …a skin colour does not cause a crime to be committed…as he said in the vid, if that were the cases then his grandmother’s skin tone was darker than others who have committed crime….so how does that sit and be explained …?…it’s very saddening that some sections/communities etc seem to merit more in depth research and solving, which is actually proving to have real impact and others don’t…all they’re meriting is a dismissal of ‘black crime being the problem…’….a dismissive throwaway …

The statistics don't even support the black on black crime myth, which is only ever used for one reason.

In fact white victims of homicide are far more likely to be killed by another white person than black victims are to be killed by a black person, Ministry of Justice data reveals.


Figures on the ethnicity of the suspect are not given on a local level, but national figures show that of the white people killed between 2009/10 and 2017/18, 92 percent were thought to have been killed by another white person and just 2 percent by a black person.

In comparison, of the black people killed during that time, just over half - at 55 per cent - were killed by another black person, and 33 percent by a white person.

This reveals that white-on-white violent crime is much more prevalent than black-on-black violent crime, despite rarely being talked about in the same way.
