Black teenagers commit high levels of street crime and carry guns because they come from broken homes and have little faith in the police, it has been claimed.
A report by MPs revealed that although young blacks make up less than 3 per cent of the population of ten to 17-year-olds, they account for 26 per cent of arrests for robbery within that age group.
They also represent 6 per cent of those from the age group in the criminal justice system, and 8.5 per cent of those arrested for all crimes, including a disproportionate number of drug offences. They are also more likely to be responsible for, and victims of, gun murders.
