In 2000 a nationwide study presented the following statistics:
The white population of the UK made up 94.5% of the total population but only made up 82% of the prison population. The black population made up 1.8% of the UK’s total population but made up 12.1% of the prison population. In contrast the Asian representation in this study showed that they made up 2.7% of the UK’s total population and had a prison population of 2.8%.
Wonder what 2013 figures are.......both for prisioners and % of whites/blacks and Asians in uk population....
