Lammy Review: Will it change outcomes in the criminal justice system
A forensic analysis from a criminal justice expert on the weaknesses in the findings and recommendations of the Lammy Review into Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic disproportionality in the UK’s criminal justice system. It comments on the remit (which excludes policing), the lack of real action over police gang databases and the joint enterprise ‘charge’, the inadequate understanding of plea bargaining and influence of charging, the need for a dee…
The case against joint enterprise
This article examines the need to reform the UK law of joint enterprise, the scope of which has been expanded over recent years through judicial case law. It describes how joint enterprise has become a specific weapon used by the police and the courts to target both political protest and 'gang' violence, in particular in black and working-class communities. The main evidence and recommendations of the House of Commons Justice Committee inquiry in…
Four days in August: The UK riots
In August 2011, England experienced widespread public disorders in sixty-six locations following a protest at the shooting dead of a black man in north London by the police. The author examines, inter alia, reports from the Metropolitan Police Service, academics Steve Reicher and Cliff Stott, Tottenham MP David Lammy, the Guardian/London School of Economics, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Ministry of Justice to analyse the rio…
Race, Law and the State
Cet article s'interesse aux consequences parlementaires et gouvernemetales du rapport MacPherson, impliquant les pratiques discriminatoires policieres. Si la promulgation du Race Relations Amendement Act est effective, celui-ci ne guarantit pas pour autant l'egalite devant la loi et le systeme judiciaire britannique de la communaute noire de ce pays
The Lawrence Inquiry – Incompetence, Corruption, and Institutional Racism
The inquiry into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in South London in 1993, which reported earlier this year, documents a catalogue of police incompetence and ‘institutional racism’. The report also puts forward a number of far‐reaching recommendations, echoing long‐standing demands by the black community, for the reform of policing in Britain. Yet, in its approach to ‘institutional racism’, the report can be seen to have downplayed t…
Race and social policy: Sivanandan's 'grounded theory
Normalizing Injustice: The Royal Commission on Criminal Justice
The report of the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice (Runciman Commission) is a sham. It is a document that is slip-shod in its use of empirical evidence, slippery in its argumentation, and shameful in its underlying political purposes. The Runciman Commission was established in 1991 as a direct response to the release by the Court of Appeal of the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six from long terms of false imprisonment, following the overtu…

The Racial Harassment Bill: A Missed Opportunity
UK commentary: Racism and the crisis in public housing
After years of government-inspired political attacks, and government- imposed financial cuts on local authority housing - including much publicised 'right-to-buy' initiatives, prohibitions on using even money from sales for improving housing, and the selling off (by Conservative boroughs) of whole estates over tenants' heads - the quality and availability of public housing has deteriorated starkly. Black protest over the scarcity of public housin…
