It is clear from the report that the level and impact of police and wider state intrusion into the lives of people on the Metropolitan Police Service Gangs Violence Matrix cannot be underestimated.

This report shows that the Gangs Matrix predominantly and disproportionately infringes on the rights and civil liberties of young black men. With similar gang databases in existence across the country, we recommend that Parliament and other stakeholders demonstrate responsiveness by robustly scrutinising this racialised form of policing and end its damaging effects.
