History

Historical Context

The 1999 Macpherson Report exposed systemic racism in the Metropolitan Police following Stephen Lawrence's murder, prompting reforms like the establishment of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). In 2018, the IPCC evolved into the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Ongoing investigations, such as the scrutiny of police conduct in the fatal shooting of Melvin Cravitz, highlight persistent issues of accountability and public trust in the UK.
