Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

 

Bob Spink has been criticised for his statements on the ethnic origins of criminals.

When answering the sort of questions he asks, we need access to all of the statistics, so that we can all make proper reasoned judgements. For instance, there are large numbers of prisoners with Alzheimer's and other serious diseases. Where is that information?
