What we do
The aims of SSLP are:
-
To educate and empower the people of London about the law, focused on but not limited to, the law in relation to the police’s ‘stop and search’ powers.
-
To end the use of racial profiling by the police in the use of their stop and search powers.
-
To reduce the harm done to community relations by the excessive use of stop and search powers, in particular on young black men.
-
To increase familiarity with and knowledge of the legal profession and justice system to as broad a range of people as possible – we don’t believe we should all be subject to a justice system that only a few of us are familiar with.
