It does seem to be true that faces of accused people who are non-white are only ever published once, at the end of the trial. Whilst race should not be an issue, it is a truism to state that certain ethnic groups are more likely to be involved in certain types of crime. A lot of violence is associated with African and Afro-Carribean gangs that is disproportionate to their presence in the population at large. The problem is that, by failing to acknowledge there might be a problem, the powers that be put off the day when a solution might be found.
