Police in England and Wales are being given greater stop and search powers, making it easier for them to use “Section 60” powers, where for a limited time they can stop and search anyone in an area if they believe there is a risk of violence. Do you approve or disapprove of police being given greater powers around this? Published on 12 August 2019 → Survey conducted on 12 August 2019 on 2153 GB adults
