Why are tehre so many in the North of England considering the far lower
numbers of black people.

The region where there are fewest sex offenders per capita is the East of
England (64.22 per 100,000 population). Perhaps surprisingly, London has
the second fewest — at 64.53 per 100,000.

Now the London and south east have a higher proportion of black people than
the midlands or the north so why don;t the number of sex crimes follow
that trend ?

The figures (source: Ministry of Justice) I found shows the ethnic breakdown
of sex offenders convicted during 2010:

White: 76%
Black; 7%
Asian 8%
Unknown 8%
Other 1%

And these groups represented as percentages of the population in 2011:

White: 86%
Asian: 7.5%
Black 3.3%

Which demonstrates that more than twice as many black people per racial
capita were convicted of sex offences during 2011 than white or Asian men.
