Restraining Police Restraint: Leslie Thomas QC

We hear too often about sudden death in adults following prolonged and often unnecessary police restraint. What do people know about the dangers of restraint and how widespread is our understanding of such deaths?
This talk explores the legal implications facing the state and what steps can be taken and implemented to save more lives and have safer policing.
Do these deaths disproportionately affect African Caribbean men given recent BAME stop and search statistics?
Details on how to register for 2021 lectures will be updated in due course on the webpage for the event.
