Based on a two-year research project funded by the Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC), this book explores why many of
those involved in racially motivated crime seem to be struggling to
cope with economic, cultural and emotional losses in their own
lives. Drawing on in-depth biographical interviews with
perpetrators of racist crimes and focus group discussions with
ordinary people living in the same communities, the book explores
why it is that some people, and not others, feel inclined to attack
immigrants and minority ethnic groups. The relationships between
ordinary racism, racial harassment and the politics of the British
National Party are also explored, as are the enduring impacts of
deindustrialisation, economic failure and immigration on white
working class communities. The book assesses the legacy of New
Labour policy on community cohesion, hate crime and respect in
terms of its impact on racist attitudes and racist incidents, and
explores how it is that racist attacks, including racist murders,
continue to happen.
