No defence of that approach? OK, if you say so.That is a description of what was done. Not an endorsement of it.
Defending those who took decisions they believed correct at the time they took them, with the knowledge they then possessed, doesn’t mean endorsing anything that might, or might not, have resulted as a consequence.No defence of that approach? OK, if you say so.
It was a fairly recent decision. It isn't explained why this data was collected in some cases but not in others.Defending those who took decisions they believed correct at the time they took them, with the knowledge they then possessed, doesn’t mean endorsing anything that might, or might not, have resulted as a consequence.
Baroness Casey takes the view that data collection is a requirement, at least partly, to ensure that whole communities are not alienated. She also sees avoiding alienation as important and as she has looked into this in much greater detail than me I am prepared to accept her judgement that data collection will help and not hinder it. I have never offered an opinion beyond saying I expect some push back. I expect that because it is counter intuitive.
So they took decisions that they believed were correct with the knowledge that children were being raped by gangs of predominantly men of Pakistani heritage, the obvious consequence being that the rapes would continue. But that's ok, as they didn't alienate the community of the paedophiles and avoided being labelled as racists.Defending those who took decisions they believed correct at the time they took them, with the knowledge they then possessed, doesn’t mean endorsing anything that might, or might not, have resulted as a consequence.

You would need to ask the police why that was. We can only speculate that they had decided it was no longer considered relevant.It was a fairly recent decision. It isn't explained why this data was collected in some cases but not in others.
From Google.
In 2010, ethnic data on criminals convicted of robbery was only absent in 14 per cent of cases. By 2024, that had jumped to 44 per cent. This was similar for offences of violence against the person, where the failure to record ethnicity increased from 11 per cent to 30 per cent.
Most of these political threads are a handful of people arguing with the same troll.So they took decisions that they believed were correct with the knowledge that children were being raped by gangs of predominantly men of Pakistani heritage, the obvious consequence being that the rapes would continue.

Blacks disproportionately carry more guns, knives and commit more crimes.![]()
Police forces cease recording race of people they stop
Forces that no longer record ethnicity are those most likely to stop disproportionate numbers of black peoplewww.theguardian.com
