Subscribe to Our History: https://bit.ly/3v5mKBG Skin looks at how police are responding to street crime. They employ preventing patrolling, putting men on the streets at trouble spots, but using the SUS law to make arrests when the circumstances are suspicious and inviting the Special Patrol Group to come to Brixton, all of which is breaking up their black community. The liaison committee has folded and the council is becoming worried. Also, crime figures have not come down. How worried are they about their relationship with the black community and what does the black community itself feel about this?
