George Floyd's death: How many black people the police in England and Wales died in custody?

Nov 22,2023 6:11 pm

Thousands marched in the UK

The death of a Black Man in police took custody in Minneapolis to a wave of protests in the United States and beyond.

In Britain, after the assassination of George Floyd, shouted: "Black lives matter".

Some have raised the question of the say The Police and race, that Black People are dying disproportionately large probability in police custody.

What do the figures show?

in The Past 10 Years in England and Wales, according to The Independent office of police behavior (IOPC) - the authority for police Complaints .

is the term for someone who dies while in the care of The State - this could belong to, while in custody of The Police or when kept guard as a prisoner in a police.

the deaths in The Last 10 Years :

If you are these numbers in comparison to how a majority of the population Make Up of these groups (how measured ), Black People are More Than twice as likely to die in police custody.

The 2011 census - The Most accurate Source , showed that 3% of the English population was Black (although this proportion may have since). Black People accounted for 8% of deaths in detention.

This is not the only way of looking at the numbers.

It is a different picture, if you look at, what is the percentage of People arrested, at the end of die in police custody.

Of those arrested, 79% were white, and 85% of those who had died in the detention-and-white.

Meanwhile, 9% of the People who were arrested were Black (disproportionately high), and 8% of those who died in detention were Black .

So, in The Last 10 Years , a white Person that was arrested, was about 25% More likely to die in prison than a Black Person who was arrested.

force a

between 1989/1990 and 2008/2009, found that: "a disproportionately large number of People from Sundays-communities (and those concerning Mental Health ), died after the application of violence".

He said, arrested between 1990 and 2009, 16% of those who died after the use of force were Black - More Than double the proportion.

But between 2009-10 and 2017-18, there were no ethnic breakdown on the use of force, in custody deaths.

in The Past two years, it has. The figures show that of the 39-custody-deaths:

The IOPC says about the law of total deaths, "does not necessarily mean that the use of violence contributed to the death." It says that the Mental Health or drug and alcohol problems factors. In 2018-19, almost two-thirds of the detention-deaths that have been directly with the noise.

was shared on both sides of The Atlantic , the same pain, the anger and the desire for justice, as harrowing footage of George Floyd, killed an unarmed Black Man in broad daylight, after a white Police Officer spread knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes, over The Internet .

But the institutional structures do not hold together, the two countries are identical, and many People will be again, what on the UK's very own uncomfortable history.

Rashan Charles, Sean Riggs, Roger Sylvester, Joy Gardner and Cynthia Jarrett are just a few names of People who died after coming into contact with The Police .

Angiolini Review

In 2017, the conclusion that improvements were necessary in the investigation of death cases, as well as More concern for vulnerable People across all ethnic groups.

this, However, was race, especially in relation to Mental Health issues.

"The stereotyping of young Black men as "dangerous, violent and volatile' has long been a cliché is deeply rooted in the minds of many in our society. People with Mental Health needs even before the stereotype of the mentally ill as "mad, bad and dangerous'," says the review.

the investigation, a charity organization that focuses on police and prison deaths, said that because of this Black People with Mental Health problems faced "double discrimination" by The Police .

It has also been suggested that studies are needed to examine whether discrimination played a factor in the deaths of Black and ethnic minorities (Belarusian) People More often.

The Angiolini report says that deaths in custody are part of a wider issue for minorities.

"the death of People from Sundays-communities, particularly young Black men, which he includes in resonance with The Black community, the experience of systemic racism".

The Lammy Review

In 2017, the Lammy Review, carried out by the Labour MP David Lammy in the Criminal Justice system, said that many in these communities, The System was "stacked against you" was.

It came almost 20 years after, came to the conclusion that the Metropolitan Police was "institutionally racist".

This request led to the review of The Police disciplinary system to investigate enhanced powers to police and an internationally groundbreaking law forced all public institutions for the promotion and improvement of racial equality.

Both reports emphasise the disproportionately large number of minorities - and especially Black People - at every level of the Criminal Justice system.

The latest statistics from the Ministry of interior and Ministry of justice show:

Mr Lammy said at The Time that, while the People were from ethnic minorities, are beginning to break through many obstacles, such as education, work, and representation, the "justice against the trend".

"Those responsible in court and are punished disproportionately likely to be brought still come from minorities. "

at The Time , Mr Lammy, the "sober analysis of the differences in how People of different backgrounds, experiences of the Criminal Justice system. "

In response, the government is committed to the publication of More data on race and ethnicity, even to the work of the courts, victims, and offender management. In addition, The Race and ethnic origin-of the Board was that would be the monitoring of the implementation of the recommendations by the Executive Board.
