Given you have to have done something to get a tug from the long arm of the law to have your DNA taken then the figures for a large city like London will have a high percentage of blacks in it as an overall percentage of the London population. Try the same scheme in Bristol and I am guessing the reverse would be true.

I am no fan of innocent DNA being (illegally) kept on the database however if targeting people because they are causing crime as apposed to the colour of their skin means I stand less chance of getting stabbed on a bus then I am all for it.

Finally, statistics can show many different things, the Evening Standard tells us tonight that more whites are stopped and searched than any other racial group, the Telegraph tells us otherwise.

There are lies, damb lies and statistics!
