Quoted in The Leader - Alarm at increase in police use of strip-searches - 22 April 2014
Quoted:-
Sophie Khan, a legal director of Police Action Centre, a charity that advises people on their rights if they wish to pursue an action against the police, said she was especially concerned about the powers being used against children.
The solicitor-advocate, specialising in actions against the police, said: “The police need to look at this issue very carefully.
“There needs to be some linked-in thinking about whether it’s necessary to be strip searching children. There must be another reasonable method to try to restrain or detain them without having to go as far as strip searching them.
“The number of people being released without charge seem to show it’s being used too freely.”

Quoted in The Guardian - Metropolitan police strip searched more than 4,500 children in five years - 16 March 2014
Quoted in The Guardian:-
Sophie Khan, legal director of Police Action Centre, a charity that advises people on their rights if they wish to pursue an action against the police, questioned whether strip searches of children were necessary.
"It is disturbing that the Met strip search children as young as 10 years old on a routine basis. Strip searching is an inhuman and degrading experience and children should not be subjected to such treatment unless there is no other feasible method to detect crime available to the police," she said.

Quoted in International Business Times - Police Issue Quickfire Reply to BBC Panorama Show "Shoot to Kill" 20 January 2014
Quoted in International Business Times:-
Sophie Khan, legal director at the Police Action Centre pressure group, told IBTimes UK: "The reforms that need to be considered are about hard stops and the information the police have on the person who they want to stop because when things go wrong, they go badly wrong.
Sophie Khan, legal director at the Police Action Centre pressure group, told IBTimes UK: "The reforms that need to be considered are about hard stops and the information the police have on the person who they want to stop because when things go wrong, they go badly wrong.
"The Mark Duggan case returned a verdict of lawful killing, but this could be different in another case. But there are other priorities such as the use of Tasers and stop and search. There are concerns about training here."
