Roundtable

The use of private police is on the rise around the world. Police shortages and funding cuts are forcing people to look for help elsewhere to feel secure. But does this create a two-tier society where only the rich are protected? Whose rights are at risk?

Joining us is Ian Lyons, Operations Manager, Atlas Security UK; Rachida Sobhi, Ex-Police Officer and Privacy campaigner, JP Oosthuizen, Ex-Police Officer and Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Winchester; Ken Marsh, Metropolitan Police Federation Chairman.

You’re a target of crime, but there aren’t enough police so you hire a private police firm. It’s common in America and South Africa. Is this a failure of the state or a solution to a police shortage crisis?

'Prevent' is one of four strands ​of the UK government's wider counter-terrorism strategy and was established to deal with radicalisation within the Muslim community. It has also come under criticism for alienating those it's trying to reach. And a report by advocacy group CAGE is accusing the government of removing children from allegedly radicalized parents. They say that’s breaking the law, so when is intervention to protect children necessary?

Joining us at the Roundtable is Madeline-Sophie Abbas, Sociology Lecturer at the University of Manchester; Asim Qureshi, CAGE Research Director; David Otto, Global Risk International Director and Mohammed Akunjee, a Criminal Defence Lawyer

CAGE is a group which advocates for due process and their report documents the removal of children, and the attempted removal of children, in family courts in the UK under the ‘Prevent’ strategy. They argue individuals are assessed using flawed and subjective methods based on behaviour and belief. One of the women CAGE used their reporting spoke to Roundtable. Her identity is kept hidden.

Brexit was supposed to be the opportunity to make Britain stronger but is another divorce on the horizon? Fast forward from the year 1707 and the Act of Union to 2018 is an act of self-destruction in the eyes of those who see the UK anything but united.

Here in the UK there are concerns there is a lot of stigma and lack of awareness in ethnic minority communities when it comes to mental health. So do health services also need to change how they're treating these patients?
