A depressing report, with no surprises from those who practice in the justice system. For over 25 years I have seen people from minority ethnic groups receive unfavourable treatment -and backed by the stats- 2o times more likely to be stopped and searched, more likely to be arrested, more likely to be charged for a first offence rather than cautioned, more likely to be convicted, and usually receiving a longer sentence. Do people think these outcomes are a statistical blip without a cause?
Equally no surprise that on the publication of a report highlighting the issues, the closet racists are out making excuses , some clearly haven’t read the report, some have but choose to ignore it’s inconvenient findings.
