Panel Discussion: Is the British police force institutionally racist?

by | November 19, 2015

 

 

Is the British Police Force institutionally racist? If it is, how constructive is this label? What impact does stop and search have on the relationship between BME communities and the police, and has the recent reduction in the use of the technique had any discernible impact?
