UK police must do more on misogyny and racism, says head of Scottish force
The Guardian says it’s a “moral imperative and operational necessity” for police forces across the UK to demonstrate “no tolerance for misogyny, racism and discrimination” within their ranks and across wider society, the head of Police Scotland has said, adding that the voices of survivors of sexual violence are “vital” in making improvements.
Writing exclusively for the Guardian, the chief constable of the force, Iain Livingstone, says: “Words and good intent are not enough. There must be action – practical, firm, progressive, visible action.”
He adds that the “hard-earned lessons” from reforming Police Scotland – the second largest force in the UK – can provide insights for colleagues and communities elsewhere.
