This report focuses on the attitudes towards and experiences of policing
in Northern Ireland by individuals who describe themselves as being
from a black and minority ethnic background. The six-month research
project was commissioned by the Northern Ireland Policing Board
(NIPB) and the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland
(OPONI) and explored both the attitudes and the experiences of
individuals from a wide range of minority community backgrounds
towards the new structures for policing and police accountability in
Northern Ireland.
