I wonder if they're more worried about putting too many men in prison or too many black people.

They are concerned about a higher rate of false positives (therefore a higher rate of incorrect arrests etc.) of white people (and probably Asians etc.) and women. This is also discriminatory.

People forget equality law runs both says. it is illegal to discriminate against men, whites, or heterosexuals just as it is to discriminate against women, non-whites or gays.

Neither, they're worried about bad rep.
