Met Police Review Exposes Institutional Racism, Misogyny, and Domestic Abuse Failures.
TL;DR
A year-long review of the Metropolitan Police by Baroness Casey has found that women and children have been failed by the force, with racism, misogyny, and homophobia at the heart of the institution. The report condemns the force as institutionally racist, misogynist and homophobic, with a "boys' club" culture rife. The report calls for a dedicated women's protection service to be set up, and a broad new strategy for protecting children. The report also recommends a fundamental reset of stop and search in London, including the introduction of an independent monitor to assess its use.
