On 8 September 2017 the Government published an independent review into the treatment of, and outcomes for, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals in the Criminal Justice System. The report concludes that BAME individuals still face bias, including overt discrimination, and makes a number of recommendations which must be implemented.
Updated Panel: Sir Anthony Hooper, DPP Strategic Policy Advisor Sara Carnegie, Sandra Paul of Kinglsey Napley, Courtenay Griffiths QC of 25 Bedford Row and Judy Khan QC of Garden Court Chambers. Greg Foxsmith will act as chair and David Lammy MP will give an intro.
