In addition, knife crime includes possession.up to two thirds of knife crime in the capital (https://fullfact.org/crime/are-majority-youth-knife-offenders-minority-ethnic/)
As relatively more non-white youths are stopped and searched, especially in London, it is inevitable that more non-white youths will be found with knives.
That alone will seriously skew the results.
"there were 6 stop and searches for every 1,000 White people, compared with 54 for every 1,000 Black people"

Nine times more non-white stop and search operations.
