Race, class and the weaponisation of child safety
As we sit down to write this editorial, the ‘debate’ about ‘Asian grooming gangs’ in the UK has once again hit global news stories and is circulating in the corridors of Parliament. This is a decades-spanning debacle whereby far-right groups, conservative politicians and apparently now billionaire Big Tech moguls (Sky News, 2025) highlight the exclusive (and falsified) role of Pakistani men in the organised group-based sexual exploitation of work…
False evidence appearing real: The evolution of pre-criminal safeguarding for childhood radicalisation in the UK
This article critiques the unique ‘pre-criminal safeguarding’ framework introduced for children by PREVENT – the UK’s counter-terrorism policy and legislation – as one that is anti-child protection.

We are not separatist because so many of us are mixed: Resisting Negative Stereotypes of Neighbourhood Ethnic Residential Concentration
This paper aims to disrupt the dominant 'segregation as negative' narrative, by exploring hopeful experiences and perceptions of ethnic residential concentration.

Narr…

This study employs an under-utilised methodology offering strong potential for overcoming some of the difficulties associated with neighbourhood definitions. A mental mapping exercise involving local residents is showcase…
