While the majority of all arrests and all stop and search incidents in 2015/16 were of
White people, those in an ethnic minority group were over one and a half times more
likely to be arrested than White people and were 3 times as likely to be stopped and
searched. The differences were more marked among Black people, who were over 3
times as likely to be arrested than White people and over 6 times as likely to be
stopped and searched. Almost 1 in 10 men arrested was Black, and 1 in 6 stop and
search incidents was of a Black person. For every 1,000 Black people, there were 31
stop and searches conducted in this group, compared with just 5 searches for every
1,000 White people.
