Missing black people: Study into 'pattern of discrimination' being carried out - BBC London

A study is being carried out into whether there is a "pattern of discrimination" and "racial bias" when reporting a missing black person.

Black people are four times more likely to be reported missing but are the focus of disproportionately few public appeals, figures show.

Charity Missing People says many black families feel their missing loved ones are not seen as a high enough priority.

It has now launched a survey in order to report experiences back to police.
