  • Selon Dispatches, seulement 1% des plaintes pour racisme à l’encontre de la police anglaise ont été traitées : Dispatches : Secrets of the Police

    According to Dispatches – who extracted the figures, which are not in the public domain, via hundreds of FoI requests – just 1% of all complaints of racism involving the police in England and Wales between 2005 and 2012 were upheld. To be fair, that’s actually quite good compared to the breakdowns for some individual forces. The Metropolitan police came in at 0.4%, while Greater Manchester, Lancashire and North Yorkshire came in at 0% for their 519, 127 and 56 complaints respectively.

    After that, it was a quick tour of some equally shocking statistics about the sanctions (vanishingly rarely) applied, the frequency of repeated allegations against some officers and some stories from people who had suffered – and who had proven themselves sufficiently in civil court to have received damages for their suffering – at the hands, and fists and boots and verbal abuse-spewing mouths of those who have pledged to serve and protect us all.
