That includes the black community.
In regards to stop and search, Given the level of knife crime and Black against Black violence, I would expect it to be high.
What I would like to see is a stat that showed how many of those stops and searches led to an arrest.
If it clearly showed that these s&s are frivolous, and harassment of a demographic, I’d be the first to condemn them. But if they are yielding results and keeping the streets and people safer then I’m afraid it’s not the police that is the issue.
