Source: 300 people tell BBC of police misogyny and racism after undercover investigation – BBC News
More than 300 people have contacted the BBC with allegations of racism, corruption and bullying of victims by police after a Panorama undercover investigation.
The secret filming over seven months revealed evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at one of London’s busiest police stations.
One of the main themes among the hundreds of people getting in touch was misogyny when they reported domestic abuse and sexual violence – with some women saying reporting their rape to police “was like being raped again”.
In response to the latest allegations, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said it was “working hard to build a culture based on integrity and trust” and improving vetting and misconduct procedures.
