History

Historical Context

Stephen Lawrence’s 1993 racially-motivated murder led Home Secretary Jack Straw to order Sir William Macpherson’s inquiry, whose February 1999 report listed 70 reform recommendations after reviewing over 100,000 pages and labeled the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist. That legacy of scrutiny informs today’s policing, as Northamptonshire Police ask the public for CCTV, door-bell and dash-cam footage after the 7 July killing of 16-year-old Khadeem Parris.
