Sommario
Key Points: 
  • Louise Casey’s review of the standards of behaviour and internal culture at the Metropolitan police makes for uncomfortable reading.
  • It was commissioned following the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens, who was a serving Met officer at the time.
  • Crucially, in considering police culture she draws different conclusions on the existence of institutional racism than the position taken in 2021 by Boris Johnson’s government on race.
  • Research shows that people from black and mixed ethnic groups have lower trust and confidence in the Met.

The scale of the task

    • The Met’s response to scandals, the review says, often involves “playing them down, denial, obfuscation, and digging in to defend officers without seeming to understand their wider significance”.
    • Casey also points to what many regard as a “hostile culture” within the force, with evidence of systematic racial bias against black, Asian, and ethnic minority staff.
    • Mark Rowley, the Met commissioner, responded to Casey’s findings acknowledging that the racism, among other ills, is systemic.
    • Individual offenders seeking to justify their actions will sometimes use what sociologists and criminologists call “neutralisation techniques” to minimise their guilt.
    • Like many large institutions, the Met risks remaining in denial about the scale of its racism problem.
