Article by a police Chief Inspector on the failings of the new local police authorities set up under the Police and Magistrates Court Act 1994. The new local police authorities have 17 members: 9 local councillors 3 magistrates and 5 so-called independent members nominated by the Home Office. A survey of 16 authorities by Mr Baker showed the composition of independent members included: 42.6% from business or management 25% retired people and 10% educationalists. Whereas an analysis of the Home Secretary's rate of deletion from the lists put forward showed: educationalists (74%); voluntary sector (72%); women (62%); ethnic minorities (56%); lawyers (56%) and businessmen only 36%.
