Guidance for police on sharing suspects' ethnicity must change, home secretary says
Home Secretary has stated that current guidance for police regarding the sharing of a suspect's ethnicity needs to be revised. This announcement comes after increased public and media pressure for the release of ethnic details pertaining to two men charged in connection with an alleged rape case. The current guidelines are being scrutinized to determine if they are fit for purpose in balancing transparency with the potential for prejudice and discrimination. A review is expected to be launched to address the complexities surrounding this sensitive issue and ensure fair and equitable practices.
