Here's an overview of #StopAndSearch in Avon and Somerset. The disparity is alarming, especially with unrecorded outcomes. We want copwatchers to be allies, not just bystanders to those on the sharp end of stop and search. #WeCopWatch

Your friendly neighbourhood #Criminologist here:
Dont know who needs to hear this, but ... No, your position on #StopAndSearch right now is not based on 'legitimate concerns', its based on #xenophobic, #racist, fuckery!
Using tragedy to push such an agenda is red flag #racism!

Our new article in BJC explores how #police #discretion operates at all levels, not just the frontline. Constraints cascade from the top, but officers at each level push back to retain autonomy. Based on #drugdiversion & #stopandsearch research in England.

From #OBFA in Scotland to #StopAndSearch everywhere, and indeed current #ASBO regulations, we know how these powers will be selectively used by the #Police to terrorise marginalised people.

In 2024, 19% of children stopped and searched were Black or Black British – disproportionate to their share of the total child population.

Next year, will we see Farage and Co patrolling London with batons and pepper spray?
Not so much #StopAndSearch as #StopAndBeat?
Where did Farage's family come from; surely it's safe enough for the whole family to #goback?

An article said Avon and Somerset police had recorded the highest number of stop and searches on children under 10 in England and Wales in 2023, according to data.police.uk, an official site for open data on crime and policing ("Hundreds of children under 10 subject to stop and search", 26 May, p17). After publication, the force said a technical error meant individuals whose ages were unknown had been wrongly categorised; as such, there were two confirmed cases involving under-10s, not 117. The total number of stop and searches on children under 10 across all forces was therefore 317, not 432. Also, more than 150 of the searches related to illicit drugs, not 200, and 56 rather than 87 related to suspicions of carrying offensive weapons.
Reminder that police recording of crime is rubbish.

The Home Office said that the stop and search data on data.police.uk, which is compiled from police forces' systems and used to inform their internal decision-making, is "not subject to the same level of quality assurance as Home Office-published official statistics", which had only verified 64 stop and searches on those under 10 in 2022-2023.
