'Deep lack of trust' in gardaí from 'discriminatory' policing of African and Brazilian groups, report finds

The report highlights multiple instances where victims were allegedly mistreated at garda stations, allegedly denied information, or felt they were 'retraumatised' during police interactions.

People of African descent and Brazilians experience widespread “discriminatory” policing and racial profiling, a study by the Irish Network Against Racism (INAR) has found.

Commissioned by the Policing Authority, it also says there is a “deep lack of trust” in gardaí among these communities as a result.
