"Addressing the Toxic Culture of London's Met Police Force"

A review of the Metropolitan Police by Baroness Casey has found that the force is "disconnected from Londoners" and has "cultures alive and well" of institutional prejudice, including sexism and homophobia. The report has led to calls for police reform, with politicians suggesting they want to see progress within two years. However, there is no blueprint for a reorganised system in England and Wales, and major reform feels some way off. The perilous state of British policing relies on trust, which has been eroded by the report's findings.

Met Police Review Exposes Institutional Racism, Misogyny, and Domestic Abuse Failures.

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.
