According to official police statistics for 2005-2006
Of all people arrested in the UK, 84% were White, 9% were Black, 5% were Asian, 2% were 'other'.#
Conviction rates for Whites and Blacks are about equal at roughly 50% each.
As The Pits says, figures change dramatically when considering gun crime, especially in London where, in 2006, Blacks accounted for 75% of its victims and 79% of its suspects.
Another interesting statistic I found from 2001 (this time from Interpol) was that, according to crimes committed per 100,000 of population, Britain, France and Germany were ahead of the US. - with the UK running at more than double the US figure.
