When the National Police Agency investigated cases in which the police asked "duty questions" based on race, skin color, etc., there were a total of six inappropriate behaviors last year at four police stations nationwide. I understand.
Discriminatory job questions have become an international problem, and the National Police Agency wants to provide thorough guidance.
Job questioning and interrogation that selects a partner based on race, skin color, nationality, etc. is called "racial profiling" and has become an international problem. We have investigated the consultations received last year.
As a result,
it was determined that inappropriate speech and behavior had occurred in a total of 6 cases:
2 cases each by the Metropolitan Police Department and Kanagawa Prefectural Police, and
1 case each by the Osaka Prefectural Police and Miyagi Prefectural Police .
Specifically,
▼
there were cases where people asked “How many people?” when they should have asked “What is your nationality?”
It means that there was also a case.
In addition,
there was a case where I explained to a person with a hairstyle that I braided and bundled, "I spoke to a fashionable person because he used to do drugs," when asked about his duties.
In both cases, the police officers did not have discriminatory intentions, but the National Police Agency wants to provide thorough guidance on job questions so that there is no inappropriate behavior that can be perceived as discrimination or prejudice.
