Concern...

An anti-racism campaigner reacted with concern to a suggestion that police should increase stop-and-searches of youngsters to halt the wave of teenage murders.

Keith Jarrett, president of the National Black Police Association, says there should be increased use of the controversial policing strategy across all communities.

However, Milena Buyum, coordinator of the National Assembly Against Racism, said the tactic disproportionately affected the black community. "It risks alienating black communities further, and is not a very effective way of catching people who are likely to commit offences," she said.

I think you'll find it IS an effective way, as they are the ones committing the majority of the crime. There is no reason why black communities should be alienated. Do they want their community to be under less scrutiny? Then they should actively work to cut out the reason why anyone would be scrutinising in the first place.
