Section 60 response
On the 15th of December 2023, a report was published following a joint investigation conducted by HMICFRS, the College of Policing and the IOPC into a super-complaint made by the Criminal Justice Alliance (CJA).
The super-complaint made by the CJA, entitled ‘More harm than good’ raises concerns about harm caused by ‘suspicion-less’ stop and searches, using powers under section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and the inadequate scrutiny of these powers.
