Paragraph: 467
Racial disproportionality in COVID-19 Fixed Penalty Notices highlights need for careful oversight.
Conclusion
More recently, the serious concerns raised about disproportionality in the use of Fixed Penalty Notices as part of police enforcement of the covid-19 regulations provide cautionary evidence about the need for care and oversight in the way new policing powers are introduced. In the first lockdown Black people were 1.8 times more likely to be subject to covid enforcement measures than White people.
