Children’s commissioner finds wide disparity with white counterparts in year to June 2023, with 88% of searches aimed at finding drugs
Black children are four times more likely to be strip-searched by police officers across England and Wales than their white counterparts, according to the latest nationwide figures disclosed by a watchdog.
The children’s commissioner also found that children under the age of 15 are a bigger proportion of those subjected to intimate searches, official figures from the year to June 2023 showed. Fewer than half of all searches of children in that year (45%) were conducted in the presence of an appropriate adult.
A report released on Monday also found that nearly nine out of every 10 of searches [88%] conducted by England and Wales’s 44 forces were trying to find drugs.
Absolutely. It’s hilarious that people care about fact checking enough to want to rate sources but apparently extend no skepticism whatsoever to these ratings. “Let’s just ask that one dude and go with whatever he says, I’m sure it’ll be fine”
“Bloody newspapers spreading Propaganda to control what people think!”
“On the other hand this one guy with no oversight and no established brand name to defend, telling us all who to trust or not for all the news media in the whole World is absolutelly trustworthy and couldn’t possibly be a way to control which Propaganda people trust the most. I mean even the !world@lemmy.world moderators tell us he’s honest and these people have been selected by the impeccably meritocratic, fair and honest criteria of being the first to create the sub or being brough in by their mates”
“The whole thing looks like a perfect chain of trust to me”.
