Stops and Searches Monitoring Mechanism training 2

Today’s session… Data available Finding the Stops & Searches Monitoring Mechanism Glossary of key terms Calculations Reading and interpreting the data Further sources of information 3

What data is available? Stops and Searches Monitoring Mechanism Volume of stops and searches and stops and accounts Stops and searches by reason Arrest rates from searches Ethnic appearance of people stopped, searched and arrested Ethnic appearance of people searched as a disproportionality ratio Self defined ethnicity of people stopped and held to account as a disproportionality ratio Searches by age group Arrest reason compared to search reason % arrest rate, % weapons searches, % key crime searches By borough (32 x individual borough reports) and force Updated monthly Other data… A 5090 form dip sample summary (stops and searches with reason for stops and outcomes) Multiple stops on a person 4

Where the data is collected – a 5090 form 5

Glossary of terms Stop and Account – Where an officer requests a person in a public place to account for their actions, their behaviour, their presence in an area or their possession of anything. Stop and Search – When a police officer stops a member of the public and searches them. The police can only detain members of the public in order to carry out a search when certain conditions have been met. Search powers fall under different areas of legislation which include searching for: stolen property, prohibited articles (offensive weapons, anything used for burglary, theft deception or criminal damage), drugs or guns. Historically, searches of unattended vehicles and vessels have made up a very low proportion of search activity. 9

Glossary of terms Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) - provides the core framework of police powers and safeguards around stop and search, arrest, detention, investigation, identification and interviewing detainees. It sets out to strike the right balance between the powers of the police and the rights and freedoms of the public. Maintaining that balance is a key element of PACE. Section 1 sets out the power of a constable to stop and search persons, vehicles etc. PACE sets out the various principles governing stop and search including:  The primary purpose of stop and search powers is to enable officers to allay or confirm suspicions about individuals without exercising their power of arrest.  An officer must not search a person, even with his or her consent, where no power to search is applicable.  Reasonable grounds for suspicion depend on the circumstances in each case. There must be an objective basis for that suspicion based on facts, information, and/or intelligence which are relevant to the likelihood of finding an article of a certain kind. Reasonable suspicion can never be supported on the basis of personal factors, generalisations or stereotypical images. 10

Glossary of terms Section 60 Criminal Justice & Public Order Act 1994 (s60) – where an authorising officer reasonably believes that serious violence may take place or that persons are carrying dangerous instruments or offensive weapons without good reason they may authorise powers for officers in uniform to stop and search any person or vehicle within a defined area and time period. Section 43 & 44 Terrorism Act – powers for officers to stop and search anyone in a designated area without reasonable suspicion were removed by the MPS on 8 July Officers may use Section 43 powers which require reasonable suspicion in order to carry out the stop and search. “StopIt” approach - introduced by the MPS in January 2012, “StopIt” aims to focus stop and search on tackling serious violence and using the power in a more intelligence-led and targeted way. 11

Calculations Arrest rate – the number of arrests resulting from stops and searches divided by the total number of stops and searches. This is often presented as a percentage. –e.g. 121 (arrests) / 1005 (searches) x 100 = 12.0% (arrest rate) Per 1,000 population – the number of stops and searches divided by total population multiplied by 1,000 to show a rate which is a more suitable denominator for comparison. –e.g. 600 (searches) / 166,058 (total population) x 1,000 = 3.61 searches per 1,000 population Disproportionality ratio - Disproportionality is the term used to explain the difference in the number of searches made on different groups relative to the size of the respective population base. Disproportionality is calculated from stop and search and population data. For example: The number of black stops and searches / the black population in thousands (the black stop and search rate per 1,000) divided by The number of white stops and searches / by the white population in thousands (the white stop and search rate per 1,000) OR The number of black stops and searches / number of white stops and searches multiplied by the white population / black population 12
