Guest: Jason Miller, crime reporter Peel police used force on Black people 3.2 times more often than their share of the population, a report on 2021 police data has shown. With only minimal improvement from 2020, the results are not a surprise to both police and the community. The police service has faced criticism after a series of high-profile killings of racialized men in crisis and questions about over-policing of certain communities, de-escalation strategies and whether the police should be front-line responders to mental health emergencies. If the service has launched anti-racism initiatives to address these concerns, why has the data remained significantly unchanged? The Star’s Jason Miller, a crime reporter covering the Peel region, joins “This Matters” to discuss the recent report and what it means for the community. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.
