SUMMARY:Do we need more policing?
DESCRIPTION:In light of racialised state surveillance\, state powers and (in)justice systems\, do we need more policing? \nPolice have recently undertaken a national rollout of mobile fingerprint scanners linked to the Home Office immigration databases\, after a pilot in West Yorkshire. Even though thepolice have used fingerprinting technology for years\, the direct link to the immigration database is brand new. \nPolice have also been given more power around stop and search despite previous campaigns and pushback due to overrepresentation and targeting of Black and Brown communities. \nRecent reports on gang matrix\, facial recognition\, drones are leading most to question the amount of powers and surveillance and at the height of hostile environment\, prevent and information sharing leaves many to question what this means for vulnerable\, Black\, Brown and migrant communities. \nJoin us on the 30th of April 2019 for discussions about whether we need more policing and ways forward. \nContributors on the evening will be; Dr. Patrick Williams\, senior lecturer on criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University and author of ‘Being Matrixed’\, Janet Alder (sisterof Christopher Alder) activist and campaigner on deaths in cutody and Peninah Wangari-Jones activist\, organiser and coordinator of the Racial Justice Network. \n
