Recommendation 4

The Government must commission research and analysis of the FPNs that have been issued to people by a range of characteristics including age, gender, race and social deprivation. Such analysis must look into the reasons behind such variable rates of enforcement amongst different groups. If this analysis finds that the approach to enforcement, and to issuing FPNs, is discriminatory, swift action must be taken to address this. (Paragraph 49) Wrongly issued FPNs
