The Metropolitan police’s gang violence matrix, launched after the 2011 riots, contains the names and details of thousands of people who police say pose a risk of committing gang violence. This week, one thousand young, black men were removed from the database, after a review found they posed no or little risk of committing violence.
The database is controversial, with critics such as Amnesty International alleging that it is discriminatory and breaks Britain’s human rights obligations.
The Guardian would like to hear from those who know that they have been on this database, and have been removed from it in recent years.
