You won’t win back public confidence in the police with a ‘data monitoring unit’, Yvette…

Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, announced “major” reforms of policing on Tuesday aimed at ensuring that “communities can have confidence in their local police force”. Thus, Cooper’s new Home Office unit will collect data nationally to monitor police performance, “including in high-priority areas such as tackling violence against women and girls and knife crime”. The Home Office says: “Police response times will also be standardised and measured, a key issue for the public that is currently not consistently monitored and managed.” This is basic stuff. But what undermines public confidence in the police is news coverage of “non-crime hate incidents”, a recent legal invention that blurs the line between an offence and the taking of offence.
