my friend is a forensic psychologist who works at ashworth
which i find creepy and fascinating in equal measure. he says there is some sort of very rough bias with background/race and crimes committed. eg: how many of the really sick child abusers/serial killers are anything other than white? v v few.

I like how the EDL are founded by a convicted peadofile, hasn't ever once protested against a white person on charge, yet go around claiming everyone against their cause is a peado-supporter.

there's a massive bias in racial grouping in many crimes
thing is, it's almost certainly nothing to do with race surely, but to do with other areas that happen to align somewhat with race in different areas, i.e. poverty, middle class surburbia etc?

A fucking moron I know posted on facebook that they were:
"Very disappointed by the 'Official Riots report' - ultimately whilst some social factors were an issue, the majority of those who looted were opportunists and there needs to be some individual accountability."

and then that:

"I just don't think it is fair to point the blame at society 100% - I can't believe that all those who looted did so because their youth club was shut down. A percentage of those who looted were people in full time employment!"

Dad did a lot of work with 'troubled teens', always employeed them, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
But he said closing down of youth facilities was one of the key causes of youth of today. Also, people aren't hungry enough, I know that in fact for myself, no fire in the belly.

well, in one way it's not fair to blame society 100%
as some looters were "just" cunts. Cunts arguably failed by a collapsing social structure, but still cunts. But your point is very valid.

My brother once played cricket next to Ashworth
There is a fence from behind which the inmates can actually observe the cricket, he says it made him rather nervous.
