Macpherson report: How the police service responded to the charge of institutional racism

Laverick, Wendy; Joyce, Peter

Abstract

It is twenty years since Sir William Macpherson's report into the MPS' investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence described the force as institutionally racist. Visiting Professor in Criminology Peter Joyce and Senior Lecturer in Criminology Dr Wendy Laverick examine how the report has defined UK policing.
