Violent rapist allowed to stay in UK to rape again

Is there already a thread on this case? I will ask for this one to be removed if so. I am just angry that this horrible man’s feelings were put before the fact that he had a fetish about violent rape.

It is quite wrong that the judge ordered he should be allowed to stay in the UK when it was clear to the Home Office that he would rape again.
Sorry, I have tried to insert a question about there being an inquiry into the decision of the judge to let him stay to rape women again but my phone won’t let me.

@Gealach - you have stated yourself that young men are much more likely to commit crime than other groups. On that basis, do you think that the UK should aim to reduce the number of young men immigrating here? Am I correct in my understanding that young men are more likely to be migrants than other age and sex groups, so that if we accept everyone who wants to come here, young men will be overrepresented? Exactly those people who are most likely to commit crime? That's the case even if you insist on believing that young men from all other countries are no more likely to commit crime than young men who have grown up in the UK.

It’s kind of difficult to answer in one post. You are lumping a load of nationalities in together and there are many different routes to immigration but you are treating it like a homogeneous group.

it’s not just any young men either. Young marginalised men who live in deprived urban areas are more likely to commit crime. It’s not my belief, it’s something that has been found time and time again by research.

I also don’t think it has much to do with this post as he came as a child,

Everyone realises that there are different routes to emigration. Highly educated teenagers from Hong Kong who are sent to university in Canada and then stay on and get Canadian citizenship and become doctors are obviously very different from young men involved in the criminal gang culture in Morocco who get smuggled over to Germany in the back of a lorry.
Have a closer look at the German statistics - they go into quite a lot of detail in terms of nationality, refugee or established immigrant, etc.
And no-one is arguing that certain nationalities are " born bad". But what you experience in the first 20 years of your life has a profound effect on you.

I think you should try to be a little more open-minded - and not simply dismiss a large number of German articles out of hand because they don't say what you want them to say. You mention studies which apparently conclusively show what you would like to convince us of. So show us the studies.

You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. The article presents the figures in a biased way. You can tell this from the language

Some nationalities are over represented in the Nordic research but when you look at age, socio economic status and where they live, that gap closes.

Across every country, the strongest predictors of crime are things like poverty, inequality, and age—not whether someone is foreign-born.

Your talking about millions people, different people, different nationalities and kind of lumping them into one group as well. So if you see an article doing that - you’re reading a biased article.

Bullshit
