Fury over leaked 'racist' police report
A leaked Metropolitan Police report, which allegedly concluded Muslim officers were more likely to become corrupt than their white counterparts, today sparked condemnation. The internal report, cited by the Guardian, aimed to investigate the level of complaints against ethnic police and apparently blamed cultural and family backgrounds for the difference.The paper, written by an Asian officer, was said by the newspaper to have concluded: "Asian officers and in particular Pakistani Muslim officers are under greater pressure from the family, the extended family ... and their community against that of their white colleagues to engage in activity that might lead to misconduct or criminality." It allegedly said there was a cash culture in British Pakistani life in which "assisting your extended family is considered a duty". In addition, it apparently recommended anti-corruption training for Asian officers. Posted by: ryuge 2006-06-10 |
