This episode of Life Solved from the University of Portsmouth explores what the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions have meant for human rights, democracy, trust and policing. We hear how narratives of control have played out in government policies and ask what this means for democracy here in the UK.
Professor Leila Choukroune and Dr Sarah Charman discuss the issues that have come with police enforcement of temporary legislation, and the confusion that can arise from rapidly introduced measures and guidelines. Sarah’s work looks at the impact of the pandemic upon both police and public and she shares some of her latest research insights.
We also explore the worrying surge in hate crime reported throughout the pandemic.
Dr Lisa Sigiura and Dr Jemma Tyson have a conversation about the new legislation and regulation being debated to try and curb online and offline hate
