JUSTICE IS LOST FOR BLACKS AND ASIAN IN UK?

Black men in the UK are at least six times more likely to be stopped and quizzed by police compared to white people

An investigation has found that black and mixed-race youths face discrimination in the criminal justice system of Britain.
The investigation conducted by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) revealed on Monday that black and mixed-race youths accused of crime are three times more likely to be denied bail than their white peers.

• EHRC also found that the disproportionate use of controversial "stop and search" powers by police gives grounds for allegations of racism in the British justice system.
• According to the latest figures, black men are at least six times more likely to be stopped and quizzed by police compared to white people; for Asians, being stopped is about twice as likely.
• "The evidence suggests that some forces are exercising their powers not on the basis of intelligence or reasonable suspicion but on stereotypical assumptions," it said.
• The study concluded that such tactics damage community relations and could be "counterproductive to reducing youth crime.”
• EHRC also urged police to change its approach, warning that police forces could be sued over possible breaches of Britain's Race Relations Act.
