Default Black children more likely to be denied bail than white offenders

Black children more likely to be denied bail than white offenders

Fri, 19 May 2023

Black and ethnic minority children accused of crimes are more likely to be refused bail by police in London than white youngsters, new figures reveal.

Campaigners called the Met Police data shocking, saying the decision increases the likelihood of magistrates remanding teenage defendants in custody for months until trial.

Of 953 10 to 18-year-olds detained post-charge in the year to October last year, 473 suspects were black (49.6 per cent) and 181 white (18.9 per cent). In total, people from ethnic minorities made up 73.3 per cent of those held in custody for a first appearance before the courts. Black people account for 13.5 per cent of Londoners, Asians 20.7 per cent and whites 53.8 per cent.
