StopWatch is a joint venture between a range of civil society organizations, activist and human rights groups, academics, and campaigners in the United Kingdom (UK). StopWatch was established to address concerns about the use of Stop and Search powers by police in the UK with regards to the law, community relations, and civil rights.[1] Its primary target is addressing the significant ethnic disproportionality in the use of stop and search. It also aims to review the use of powers that do not require reasonable suspicion to order a stop and search, such as Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and to ensure effective monitoring and accountability are employed in conjunction with Stop and Search powers. In addition, it aims to promote more effective methods of policing that do not have the same impact on civil liberties and community relations.[2][3]
The StopWatch Campaign involves: Equanomics UK; Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS); Mannheim Centre for Criminology, LSE; Muslim Safety Forum; NACRO; Not Another Drop; Open Society Justice Initiative; Release; The Runnymede Trust; School of Law, King's College London; Second Wave; and Turning Point.
