Debunks the claims that have been made about Romanians causing a surge in crime.
Here's the only fact that's needed to refute these claims
On March 31 this year there were 588 Romanian nationals in prison here out of a total prison population of 85,265 – so 0.7 per cent were Romanian.
A year earlier there were 671 Romanians behind bars in England and Wales out of 83,769 prisoners. That’s 0.8 per cent.
0.7% are Romanian, not even 600 of them in Prisons. Hardly the huge issue people such as Nigel Farage would have you believe.
