New Data Proves Labour are Lying About the Grooming Gangs

New data procured by a Freedom of Information Access (FOI) request sent to West Yorkshire Police — shared with me and journalist Lewis Brackpool — reveal a disproportionate overrepresentation of Asian and ethnically Pakistani males among child sexual abuse offenders.

Among suspects:

• Asian Pakistani suspects were 21.48% (1,183) of all suspects, with a rate of 507.7 suspects per 100,000 people in West Yorkshire.

• Asian Bangladeshis had a lower rate, at 0.89% (49) of suspects, and a rate of 408.3 per 100,000.

• “Other” (Arab, Middle Eastern, Latin American, etc.) suspects were 0.96% (53) of suspects, but had the highest per capita rate of the data set, at 530 suspects per 100,000.

• White British suspects were underrepresented at 44.54% (2,454) of suspects, despite being 74.4% of the population of England and Wales.

• White British suspects also had the lowest per capita offending rate at 155.3 suspects per 100,000 people.

• Black African and Caribbean suspects were 1.83% (101) of all suspects, but had the third highest per capita offending rate of 459.1 per 100,000.

• 6.4% suspects (355) had their ethnicity marked as “Not Stated”, and 13% suspects (715) as “Not Recorded”. This comprises almost a fifth of suspects.

• The maximum total potential share of Asian offenders is 42.73% — 2-to-4 times their share of the national population.

Among victims:

• White British account for 55.6% (3,960), making up the largest ethnic group in absolute terms, with a per-capita rate of 250.6 victims per 100,000.

• Black African and Other Black victims, who comprised 0.88% (63) of victims, but had a per-capita rate of 1,260 per 100,000.

• Those of Mixed ethnic backgrounds comprised 1.75% (124) of victims, at a per-capita rate of 425.4 per 100,000.

• Despite being the largest ethnic group among perpetrators, Asian Pakistanis comprised only 2.96% (211) of victims, at a per capita rate of 90.6 per 100,000 people.

• 19.2% (1,366) of victims also had their ethnicity recorded as “Not Stated”, and 15.4% (1,095) as “Not Recorded”. This comprises a third of the victims.
