Labour MP David Lammy is set to launch a landmark review today into the way the criminal justice system treats black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people.

The report highlights the disproportional treatment of different ethnic groups in the courts, prisons and probation service.

It raises concerns that the BAME proportion of youth prisoners increased from 25 per cent to 41 per cent from 2006-2016, despite an overall fall in the number of under-18s in custody.
