Newscast – Will Henry Nowak’s Murder Change Policing?

Available for over a year.

The killing of Henry Nowak has sparked another debate over so-called ‘two-tier policing’, in which people are treated differently by police based on their race. We look at whether it actually exists, what police guidance says and how the issue could change how police handle crime reports. Laura meets Danny Shaw, former BBC Law and Home Affairs Correspondent and Labour’s Home Affairs Adviser. They also took JD Vance’s comments to blame for Henry’s death on a “mass invasion of immigrants”. “Politics should bring people together,” Downing Street responded.
