I looked into this a couple weeks ago because I was curious about crime in Britain. Someone on another thread suggested as you have that the crime is not the work of indigenous youth. My impression when I vacationed there a couple years ago was that it was the indigenous English youth perpetuating many of these types of crimes. This article and the one I quote from (one of the Brit papers) suggest that my impression was probably correct. At the least, the offenders who are ID’ed as fatherless are not likely to be named Mohammed.

You can bet your last dollar that most of the people committing these crimes are third world immigrants. I know because I research this stuff several times a week. In the UK as in France, they RARELY ever make it clear who did the crime unless it’s a white English man. They use words like “youths” to describe their trouble-making immigrant populations. Again, they try purposely to make it sound like English boys themselves are doing this and not immigrants because much of the English population there is unhappy about the immigrant influx. Trust me on this.

Yes and no. In most of England, the immigrants are either Indian, Chinese or Caribbean (all Christians or Hindus or Sikhs or Buddhists or Taoists) and these tend to be more focused on doing well in business and education. The Moos in London and other places are also similarly hard-working. Those in Birmingham tend to not be so peaceful

But you are right -- the local yobs who have a school system that dumbs down kids terribly (worse than the US school system) are the main cause of the trouble
