My next question is for Ms Eastwood. I found her research on racial discrimination in policing particularly harrowing. I had a look at the headline figures and findings. I saw a discussion on the issue of stop and search beforehand and the awful, unconscious bias that impacts this issue. To see it laid out in numbers and statistics was stark. What are the solutions to this issue? What are the interim solutions ahead of legislative change? Have there been studies on the impact of this bias?
