The Chief Constable of Kent Police has been open to the research and has stated publicly that he wants to affect meaningful change. #ccprconf26
What does police misconduct look like and what are the red flags for serious misconduct/sexual misconduct?
#ccprconf26
Angiolini - Recommendation 13 - The college of Policing should develop a stronger approach to force vetting aftercare. #ccprconf26
Angiolini - Recommendation 12: Officers and staff must be held to a HIGHER standard of behaviour than general members of the public. #ccprconf26
Angiolini - changes need to go further than just policy, guidance and training...
#ccprconf26
The issues raised by the Casey Report and Angiolini Report are NOT just affecting the Met Police, but are relevant to policing in the UK...

Dr Martin O'Neill and Dr Katarina Mozova from the CCPR on Red Flags for Police Misconduct
#ccprconf26
However is there an incongruence in practice?
Does it neglect positive aspects of personal responsibility
Rejects distinctions between 10-17 year olds.
Are there contradictions between #ChildFirst philosophy and practice
#ccprconf26
#ChildFirst is a departure from previous Criminal Justice processes and HMIP inspection criteria.
There are philosophical/cultural tensions across agencies where there can be resistance to the CF principles.
#ccprconf26
Stigmatising children and criminalising them have long term negative consequences for the child. We have known this for decades...
#ccprconf26
Putting children in prison is meant to be an absolute last resort...
#ccprconf26
We should always keep the child's best interest first!
#ccprconf26
The Youth Justice Board, have professional curiosity rather than just criminalising children. Need to work with them collaboratively. Children's autonomy is relational to the adults around them.

Research aims to critically investigate the underrepresentation of Ethnic Minority Officers in specialist roles or units in the police and make proposals to improve. #ccprconf26
Police specialisms have evolved significantly in response to policing challenges.
There are shortages of detectives and other specialist roles.
#ccprconf26
The Police Race Action Plan sought to address racial discrimination.
Casey Report also continued to demonstrate discrimination and a toxic police culture
#ccprconf26
Also there is the legal requirement to proactively deal with racial disparities. #ccprconf26
Background:
MacPherson Inquiry
Morris Inquiry
Ethnic Minority Officers are perceived as in exclusive 'closed shops'
Police continue to fail to increase the recruitment, retention and promotion of ethnic minority officers.

Need for dual investigation approach.
#ccprconf26
Findings:

Balancing enforcement & prosecution
Articulating coercion
Cultural silos
