Racism rife in British police forces: Report
Sunday, June 13, 2004 (London):
Blacks and Asians were a target of racist behaviour, which was found to be rife in police forces in England and Wales, an investigation by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) has revealed.
"We have examined more than half of the forces and the police authorities. It is a complete shambles, and racism is rife," The Sunday Telegraph reported quoting a CRE official.
Chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality Trevor Phillips has threatened chief constables with legal action for flouting race laws, the report said.
Catalogue of abuses
Phillips has notified Home Secretary David Blunkett that he is ready to take action after a formal CRE investigation uncovered a catalogue of abuses in police forces in England and Wales.
According to the inquiry, only one of 15 police forces had complied with the race equality scheme under the terms of the Act.
