Exclusive: Sadiq Khan review into ‘discriminatory’ police matrix found 38% on list posed little or no risk

The Metropolitan police’s gang violence matrix contains the names and details of thousands of people who police say pose a risk of committing gang violence. It then gives them a score showing how likely they are to commit gang violence.
