Description
The conviction
of some of the perpetrators of the murder of Stephen Lawrence at the start
of 2012 has led to a renewed focus on the institutional racism in our
criminal justice system; institutional racism that meant that the Lawrence
family had to wait over 18 years for any form of justice. Media comment has
focused on the headline grabbing disparities in the use of stop and search,
recruitment and retention in the police service, and access to justice for
victims of racist violence. These are crucial issues that are addressed in
this volume.
