Read our privacy policy Suella Braverman has urged police to “ramp up” the use of controversial stop and search powers in a move that has been criticised as “deeply irresponsible” by human rights campaigners. In a letter to the police chiefs of all 43 forces in England and Wales, the home secretary said officers who use the powers have her “full support”. Labour’s shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Ms Braverman was “chasing headlines” instead of tackling knife crime, which she said had “shot up” under Tory rule. “The police have my full support to ramp up the use of stop and search, wherever necessary, to prevent violence and save more lives.” Black people are seven times more likely to be stopped and searched by police than their white peers She added that she backs the police in tackling knife crime among young Black males.
