It is 25 years since teenager Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racially aggravated attack. An inquiry was subsequently launched into how the case investigating his murder was handled. In 1999 the Macpherson report found that the Metropolitan police were institutionally racist; that is, they failed to give an appropriate service to some groups in society because of their colour, culture or ethnicity. Do you think the police today is or is not institutionally racist?
