"A new YouGov survey shows that many Britons do indeed believe that the police are stricter with some groups and more lenient with others. However, there is disagreement over which groups that applies to – and whether they are being over or under-policed."


What are your thought about this survey?

I think it's quite political.

I think it's quite political.

After reading the survey again , it is no more political then about the climate or about religion or about race or gender as it is also mention these groups in the survey where it says -
"Similar stories play out with other groups like Muslims and climate activists."
or
 "the group that Britons are most likely to say aren't treated in the same way by the police are black people"

 

If this subject is political then pretty much any subject can be political as politics are so intertwine in everyday life.

Football fans will have an opinion on refereeing decisions. Their objectivity can vary dependent on the sides playing.

That isn't to say that if we had as many referees as police officers that some will be biased.

Hardly an independent unbiased survey.

It even states politics in the URL.

Respectfully disagree.
Yougov is well respected survey organisation.
If theres no trust in a yougov survey, then it is pretty much hopeless for any other survey group or organisation.
