Today in Focus · How the far right is exploiting the murder of Henry Nowak – The Latest · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

You are far more likely to be charged with a crime than if you are white.

You are far more likely that even if you commit the same crime as a white person to get a custodial sentence.

you're far more likely to have a longer custodial sentence.

So we know that there are disparities in the criminal justice system.

The data is very clear that disparities are against people of colour.

But in the past two years, I would say, there has been this rhetoric that's been coming out from the far right that it's not true, it's the other way around.

They've become very critical of what they describe as DEI, or as we know it as Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives.

I find it really interesting that many people are going back to the death of Stephen Lawrence, where the police were deemed to be institutionally racist.

And then other institutions in our society also look to see whether they have an issue.

That's where a lot of the data had come from.

Actually, we didn't have that in the 90s or 80s.

It's just something that black and Asian people and other non-white communities experienced.

One of the big things that has come from the police admitting that is that they have to measure.

They have to measure how many people they stop and search, what the race of the person that's been stopped and searched is.

They have to measure what the custodial sentences are.

And that data is really clear cut.

So I feel like this moment is quite similar to when we were reporting on climate change.

And I think the press has a lot to answer for because we're at a place right now where we say, well, this person thinks the police is racist against white people and this person believes the police is racist against people of colour.

Which one's right?

And then the piece or the interview doesn't mention any of the statistics or doesn't mention any of the facts.
