The issue of minority ethnic groups' experiences of the criminal
justice process, and in particular whether they are subject to
disadvantageous treatment, has received much attention in recent
years following high-profile events such as the publication of the
Macpherson report in 1999 and the riots involving British-born
Asian youths in northern towns in 2001. At the same time there has
been a burgeoning body of research evidence about the needs and
experiences of minority ethnic offenders, the behaviour of racially
motivated offenders, and concern with 'What Works' to reduce
recidivism by members of both groups. This book reviews this field,
drawing upon the largest study of minority ethnic probationers ever
conducted in Europe, and seeks to understand the 'stark contrast
between the experience of white and black minority ethnicpeople in
some areas of the criminal justice system'. Part 1 of the book sets
out the context of recent policy, research and practice
initiatives; Part 2 focuses on the needs and experiences of
minority ethnic offenders; Part 3 discusses aspects of recent
practice and policy; Part 4 reviews conclusions and the way
forward. Race and Probation also contributes to the wider debate
about race and crime. The lessons learned will be of key importance
as new arrangements linked to NOMS (National Offender Management
Service) come in to place. It will be essential reading
forprobation trainees and students of criminal justice, for
probation practitioners and managers, and for academics and
researchers in the field.
