Jamaica has been listed as having the highest number of criminals living in Britain, according to data published recently by the daily mail.
THE WEEKEND STAR understands that there are more than 700 murderers and 500 rapists among nearly 12,000 foreign offenders in Britain, figures show.
According to www.dailymail.co.uk , for the first time, the Home Office has published a detailed breakdown of the offences and nationalities of criminals from around the world, who are currently on its books, having been convicted of offences in the country.
The data reveals that of the 47,000 Jamaicans registered in Britain, 1,026 have been booked for crimes.
The crimes committed consist of murder, rape and sexual offences against children.
The data shows there are more Jamaican criminals in Britain than any other nationality or around two per cent of the entire Jamaican population in the UK.
THE WEEKEND STAR gathered that second on the list is Nigeria, followed by Poland and Somalia.
The top 10 countries account for more than 5,500 criminals.
