The Masterman Report

The Masterman Report, formally known as the "Report of the Inquiry into the Relationship between the Public and the Police," was a significant document produced in the UK in 1981, following the disorder and public unrest in the 1980s. It examined the interactions between police and communities, particularly in marginalized areas. The report aimed to identify issues in policing, encourage community trust, and recommend improvements to police practices. It highlighted the importance of community engagement and accountability in law enforcement to foster better relationships and ensure fair treatment for all citizens.
