Our most recent report on criminal justice is Have prisons become a dangerous place?, a report on inequalities in prisons, black and Muslim prisoners, safety and mental health.
We also published an edited volume 'Justice, Resistance & Solidarity: Race and Policing in England & Wales'
Black and minority ethnic groups are over-represented in the criminal justice system, under-represented in the legal profession (particularly among judges), and too often criminalised by sections of the press. They also continue to suffer from racist violence and harassment.
Runnymede's work seeks to identify challenges to race equality in criminal justice and offer solutions to them. Our projects include in-depth research on asbos and race equality, examination of how prevention strategies can be applied to reduce racist violence, campaign against disproportionality in stop and search, and analyses of BME groups as 'suspect populations'.
