No policy was really involved. Britain was taking American sailors on the basis that those taken were escaped British sailors. That was not true,in many instances but Britain felt it could do so, in part, because the government of Britain was trying to not recognize the independence of the American colonies. Britain went to war against the colonies in an effort to take America back as a subject colony. It failed to do this.
