“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”

@sneak Black and Muslim people are overrepresented in the UK prison system. Says a lot.
@thatbrickster @sneak black ppl r 20x more likely to be stopped by UK police
@kallisti Black officers are more likely to face misconduct charges.

@sneak
@chjara Absolutely nothing. I'm not going to imply anything since it's not a topic I understand well outside of partisan talking points.

@kallisti @sneak
@sneak Right, you meant the other one.

Black people make up 12% (3% of population) and Muslims make up 17% (4% of pop) within England and Wales. If it makes you feel any better, those of no religion are overrepresented as well.

@MischievousTomato Not much reported since a few years ago, same goes for honour killings and FGM. Doesn't mean it's not happening though.
