Is it because they commit more crime or are they literally locked up for being BAME as David Lammy suggests.

The amount of black on black crime and the gang culture in big cities is the reason why i would think.

BAME groups also have housing overconcentration in the most deprived areas of the UK, lower than average economic status, less work opportunities, fewer successful people of their own ethnicity to act as role models, higher mental illness rates and a bunch of other disadvantages.

Perhaps it's because they suffer from the lack advancement opportunities in the workplace, education, social mobility and are largely not fully integrated into the broader society? - much of which can be put down to old-fashioned prejudice and this is merely reaping what we as a society have sown.
