Gavin Hales added,
22. I've now repeated the analysis, but this time looking at how the #stopsearch rate (per 100k population) has changed over time. As before there's a slide pack showing individual forces https://www.dropbox.com/s/75nguox6i1tywhr/Stop%20search%20per%20100k%20E%26W%20by%20force.ppsx?dl=0 …

23. First, a look at how #stopsearch rates varied in 2016/17. The MPS (1570/100k) is out on it's own. Merseyside (569), W Yorks (479) and W Mids (459) are all near the top, as for some reason is Dyfed-Powys (489). GMP is at the other end (102) with a rate 1/15th of the MPS.pic.twitter.com/PexSl8OriX
24. Looking at period 2006/7 to 2016/17 most forces are reasonably clustered. I've highlighted 3 outliers: MPS, Merseyside and Cleveland. You can also see how since 2013/14 the range of rates has shrunk as rates have fallen - only the MPS is outside of a tight cluster #stopsearchpic.twitter.com/7RVg3t8gH2
25. Here's a selection of forces, illustrating some of the different trends observed.pic.twitter.com/ZIeAxAwuPp
26. For me, the most striking feature is the way #stopsearch rates have been funnelled into a tight range. Setting aside the MPS, Merseyside and Cleveland, in 2010/11 there was an 8.7x range between high and low. By 2016/17 that was only 4.8x and at *much* lower levels.pic.twitter.com/0USugFJXes
27. A final chart for now - showing the #stopsearch rate per 100k population for all forces, for 2010/11 and 2016/17, illustrating the reduction in a slightly different way .pic.twitter.com/8jGVmRfS92
Pleasure - thanks Neil. Clearly very significant implications for the policing of drugs possession and dealing.
Indeed! From memory this would seem to match the downward trend of possession arrests. I wonder what percentage of possession arrests historically come from stop search?
