UN humanitarian organisation says continued use runs counter to international rights standards
The use of Tasers and spit hoods on children should be banned in the UK, the global humanitarian organisation for children Unicef has recommended.
Police in some forces in England use them disproportionately on black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) children, Unicef found, saying the continued use of Tasers on children runs in opposition to international children’s rights standards.
