  • (PCO0010) Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Graham Smith
    (PCO0010) Written evidence submitted by Dr Graham Smith, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Manchester (COR0010) Introduction 1. I am a Senior Lecturer in Regulation at the University of Manchester and serve as a consultant on human rights, specialising in police misconduct and complaints, to the Council of Europe. I have close to 40 years of experience in the field as complainant, civil rights activist, consultant and researcher. Since completing my doctoral thesis Police Crime: A Constitutional Perspective in 1998 I have published widely in academic journals. In 2009 I drafted the Opinion of the Commissioner for Human Rights Concerning Independent and Effective Determination of Complaints Against the Police and in 2011-12 led research commissioned by Greater Manchester, West Midlands and British Transport Police on Disproportionality in police professional standards. In September 2020 Palgrave Macmillan published On the Wrong Side of The Law: Complaints Against Metropolitan Police, 1829-1964, the first of a two volume study of complaints against officers serving with the Metropolitan Police. Complaints reform 2. Police complaints were first codified in England and Wales under Section 49 of the Police Act 1964. Since then there has been a gradual transfer of responsibility for handling complaints from police forces to non-police bodies. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is the fourth statutory police complaints oversight body. 3. For close to forty years the Home Affairs Committee (HAC) have played a prominent role

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).
