‘Differential Policing’? Protest, politics and partnerships

The subject of the how the rule of law is upheld and therefore how we are policed is of vital importance and interest to all of us. That we are all equal before the law and equal before the forces of law and order is central to our conception of justice. In recent times we have seen large numbers of people on the streets of London and other cities protesting about events many thousands of miles away. Yet as a result of these protests many people in this country have been intimidated, harassed and disrupted. 
 
To many it appears that the police have appeared to facilitate the activities of some protest groups, while actively preventing others from going about their lawful activities. It is perhaps unsurprising in such circumstances that many have therefore accused them of ‘Differential Policing’. We hear from a series of impressive speakers about whether that contention is correct:
  • Lord Carlile of Berriew CBE KC
  • Rt Hon Dame Priti Patel MP
  • Rt Hon Hazel Blears
  • Lord Hogan-Howe QPM
