Bradford safe? It Is If You Are Muslim and Male

Left Wing Media Claims Bradford is Safe, But Parallel Muslim Justice Systems Mask the Real Crime Rates
A recent opinion poll by YouGov on public perceptions of safety in major UK cities has caused police in Bradford to rush to defend the city, after the revelation that it enjoyed the reputation as being Britain’s most dangerous place to live.
Superintendent Scott Bisset complained the YouGov statistics merely reflected the prejudices of outsiders, not real Bradford residents. In a press release he said: "I am very disappointed with the perception that outsiders have of Bradford, but it is clear the views are not a true reflection of what we know to be the situation 'on the ground' amongst the communities we serve.
"The survey is based on the views of people across Britain - not the people of Bradford. How can someone in London or Cornwall be expected to know what life is like in Bradford unless they have lived or worked here? They can't - just as much as I wouldn't know what it is like in those areas”.
But perhaps the Superintendent should have read the survey. While it is true the sample was nationwide, taking in views from Cornwall to Scotland the full results were made available and crucially broken down by region, which allows insight and analysis.
Some areas suffered a worse reputation nationally than locally; Londoners perceived London to be safer than average, for example. Glaswegians also thought Glasgow was safer than outsiders. The same was not true for Bradford, where not only was it considered the least safe in the country, but locals in the region were more likely to feel unsafe than the national average.
In a somewhat bizarre turn of events, Labour-supporting tabloid the Daily Mirror also come to the city’s defence, publishing an extensive and infographic laden article contrasting the perception poll with statistics from the ‘United Kingdom Peace Index’ (UKPI). The figures, which rate nations and localities on a small number of criteria, are compiled by the 'Institute for Economics and Peace' in New York.
Bradford is a safe place to live, argues the Mirror because of the UKPI figures showing the number of police officers per 100,000 population and incidences of violent crime are broadly in line with the national average. No matter that ‘homicide’ (combined murder, manslaughter and infanticide) is noticeably above the average.
In addition, the fact that the UKPI also considers Rotherham, now unfortunately northern England’s most infamous city and the centre of the child-rape scandal to be more ‘peaceful’ than Bradford somewhat undermines its use as a credible source.
Reflecting on Rotherham, it might be said that official police statistics don’t always tell the full story. According to official government figures gleaned from police.uk, levels of ‘violence and sexual offences’ in Rotherham were lower last year than national and local figures.
We now know this to be untrue, and is instead a reflection of the frightening collusion between local officials and the Pakistani gangs who abused some 1,400 young girls over sixteen years. This attitude towards leaving local communities to ‘police themselves’ in Bradford has recently been highlighted by a report in the Guardian. Far from preventing crime, it merely leads to crime, including sex crime, going unreported.
That young girls interviewed by the authorities in Rotherham reported being trafficked to Bradford and forced into sex acts with locals there suggests it isn’t an isolated problem either.
