British criminal justice system racially biased: Labour MP

‘Britain’s criminal justice system is racially biased against black and minority-ethnic suspects, a new report by a British MP shows.
The report by Labour MP David Lammy indicates that discrimination against BAME communities, which include Black, Asian, and minority ethnics, is even worse than in the US where African Americans and other people of color suffer the same problem.
“My conclusion is that BAME individuals still face bias, including overt discrimination, in parts of the justice system,” the MP said in his highly critical report written at the request of former prime minister David Cameron.
According to Lammy, there was “greater disproportionality” in the number of black people in prisons in England and Wales than in the US.
Black people constitute 3% of Britain’s population and 12% of the prison population, while this is 13% and 35% respectively in the US.’
