Are UK police forces institutionally misogynist?

Last July, amid a global wave of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, the Metropolitan Police commissioner Cressida Dick claimed her force was not institutionally racist. It was four days after the British athlete Bianca Williams was stopped by Met officers while driving to her home in west London, handcuffed and separated from her baby son. She called the incident “racial stereotyping and prejudice”. Yet regardless of the evidence of disproportionate targeting of black people by officers, Dick insisted there was no “collective failing” or “massive systemic problem” with racism in the police. There appears to be a similar attitude to misogyny in the force. The former Nottinghamshire Police chief Sue Fish – whose force recognised misogyny as a hate crime in 2016 – and the Centre for Women’s Justice lawyer Debaleena Dasgupta have accused police of institutional misogyny.

Chrissie Hynde Nixes Second Book: Who Gives a S---?

I even started to write Reckless part two last year, but abandoned it as I thought about it for five minutes and concluded, Really - who gives a shit? she wrote on her Facebook page. Hynde s first memoir,  Reckless: My Life as a Pretender, came out in 2015 and chronicled her journey from her childhood roots in Akron, Ohio, to the buzzing 70s punk scene of London. These days, with touring off the table, Hynde spends more time interacting with her fans on social media. It made me go a bit nostalgic - something I don’t usually feature, she wrote in a post. In fact, I avoid nostalgia, especially as the last 50 years have now been plundered ad nauseam in documentaries and memoirs, as if there isn’t enough current ’news to command the imagination.
