Avoid 'reactive' police reforms after Nowak murder, senior black officer warns

The head of the National Black Police Association, Andy George, has warned against 'reactive' police reforms following the murder of Henry Nowak. He said the move to redraft an anti-racism commitment was hasty. Former Home Secretary Jack Straw suggested an 'over-correction' in policing since the Stephen Lawrence case. The murderer, Vickrum Digwa, was jailed for life with a minimum 21-year term.
