RACE AGAINST CRIME
(1 x 60 mins)
TX: 7 November 1999, Channel 4

Months before the Macpherson Report condemned the Met's 'unwitting institutional racism', senior officers began a force wide effort to improve the handling of suspects and victims from ethnic minorities.

This film documents these efforts, and the backlash on the beat. Can they change behaviour on the street if officers see the problem as not white racism but black crime?
