This video from BBC Stories documents the police power of stop and search.
Figures show that between 2017-2018, there were 3/1000 stop and searches for white people compared to 29/1000 for black people.
This video could be used for Crime and Deviance (including: social distribution of crime/ethnicity, punishment, labelling).
The video does contain strong language and some scenes that people may find distressing.
