Forced Out: A Detective’s Story of Prejudice and Resilience (Paperback)
Kevin Maxwell (author)Published: 07/05/2020

An immensely powerful and sobering look inside the British police force. Kevin Maxwell, who after a decade of daily experiences of intolerance and abuse as a gay black officer took the force to employment tribunal, exposes the full scale of racism, homophobia, entrenched prejudice and moral cherry-picking within the field of law enforcement.
Forced Out is a revelatory exposé combining deeply affecting memoir with sharp analysis and a fascinating insider perspective on day-to-day life in the force. It is a touchstone for the silent many who have either tried to ignore abuse for the sake of their career or who have been bullied out of their jobs. It paints a sobering portrait of an institution that has not yet learned the lessons of the past and whose prejudice is informing the cases it chooses to investigate and the way it investigates them. And it asks the important question: what needs to change?
