“Stop/search tends to be in high crime areas...areas of socio-economic deprivation & which have higher percentage of minority groups.” Top ranked forces for black/white disproportionality: Dorset & Suffolk. How does that work?

Half of s/s in 2010/11 for drugs. In 2016/17 almost 2/3 of s/s for drugs. The rate at which drugs were actually found was lower for black people stop/searched than white people. Serious questions that need answers.

There was a time when a consensus was starting to build around this. Now I hear loud voices about more stop and search needed again. We need to be louder about the evidence.
