One of the Met's most controversial practices has been its use of stop-and-search on women and girls. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
New figures obtained by this programme reveal that almost 90,000 women and girls were stopped and searched by the Met over a six-year period - but in three quarters of cases there was no further action taken against them.
The data also shows hundreds of girls under the age of 19 were strip searched - with those from ethnic minorities more likely to be targeted.
Warning: this exclusive report contains details some viewers will find distressing.
