35. Police use of force
“...this is not just about mental health – the use of physical restraint and the use of Taser deserve a similar level of scrutiny. Taser is an important operational tactic which can protect the public, but we are right to demand transparency. So I have asked the national policing lead and Home Office officials to conduct an in-depth review of the publication of Taser data and other use of force by police officers. This will present options for publishing data on how police officers are deploying these sensitive powers, who they are being used on and what the outcome was. Just as with stop and search, we need to bring proper transparency to these powers by improving data reporting”.

36. HMIC welfare of vulnerable people in custody 2015

37. Police use of force
‘People taken into police custody are vulnerable in some way, and that detention in police custody can be particularly detrimental to their welfare. This vulnerability may take many forms, including:
• mental health problems;
• learning difficulties;
• physical illness or disability;
• alcohol and/or substance misuse;
• age (all children are vulnerable, and older people may be more likely to be vulnerable through illness, for example); and
• race (people from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities can be vulnerable because of their minority status)
HMIC Report 2015

38. Police use of force
People from African-Caribbean backgrounds are three times more likely to be arrested per 1,000 population than a white person.
Those from a mixed heritage were twice as likely to be arrested per 1,000 population than a white person
There was no difference in arrest rates between those from an Asian and white background
HMIC Report 2015

39. Police use of force HMIC Report 2015
‘Our data collection from the inspected forces indicated that a disproportionate number of people from African-Caribbean groups (compared to numbers in the general population) were both in custody, and subject to strip-searches. ‘
HMIC Report 2015

40. Police use of force HMIC Report 2015
‘The NatCen report and our focus group work indicated that people from African-Caribbean backgrounds felt they were discriminated against by the police. They cited examples of rudeness, disrespect or an over-use of force, which they attributed to racism.’
HMIC Report 2015

41. Police use of force HMIC Report 2015
‘While three percent of the population was from African-Caribbean groups in the forces we inspected, people from these backgrounds represented nine percent of the custody throughput, and 17 percent of those strip-searched.’
