    Criminology is focused on the attempt to understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011 riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865 individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will provide a basis for causes of the 2011 riots by applying the ‘Labelling theory’ and the ‘Anomie theory’ to events that led to such behaviour. Mark Duggan was shot by a police officer from the specialist firearms command team and as life-taking errors were made on behalf of the police force, such events that led up to the riots suggest that the police service could be to blame. It was on the 6th August that relatives sparked the riots by setting fire to police vehicles as they demanded information about Duggan’s death, however the British Prime Minister David Cameron rejected a causal relationship between the death of Mark Duggan and the subsequent looting.…

    The murder of Stephen Lawrence, a black British teenager, in a racist attack in 1993, resulted in a detailed inquiry published in 1999 outlining the existence of institutional racism and as many as 70 recommended changes in policies regarding how police should communicate with ethnic minority groups such that these people will trust police, as well as the practice of handling hate crime. Adoption of these changes, as well as reaction of criminal justice system towards the crime, seems to be slow. It is not until January 2012, thirteen years after the inquiry led by Sir William Macpherson concluded, that changes in the Criminal Justice System have finally resulted in two of the five perpetuators successfully sentenced to jail. The various problems in adopting such changes will be reviewed in assessing the overall effectiveness of suggestions made by Sir William Macpherson in the inquiry report.…

    Stephen Lawrence aged 18 lost his life due to a fatal stabbing at a bus stop on 22ndApril 1993 in a racist and unprovoked attack. This was a case which the police were deeply criticised for in respect of their role of responsibility and the reason why the case is so well known is because until now, 10 years on no one has been convicted of his murder (Macpherson Report, Ten Years On, 1999). The real question is: have policing strategies changed since the case of Stephen Lawrence and has the MacPherson report resulted in extinction of institutional racism? Ethnic minorities have always been disadvantaged in some category, if not education, then employment and these disadvantages can change a person’s lifestyle. For example black people are more likely to be stopped and searched whereas Asians are less likely to be stopped. The smallest issues like these have become today’s major problems as ethnic minorities feel they are treated unfairly. Is there a link between the criminal justice system and black people and if there is then how has it been produced? This essay aims to examine whether changes in policing arising out of Macpherson report has resulted in the extermination of institutional…

    After 9/11 the perceptions of Muslims in America were forever changed. Seeing the violent images of the Twin Towers on the news deeply frightened people in Western society. As result, fear and anger were directed towards innocent Muslims. In a growing society where many are no longer afraid to speak their beliefs, prejudice occurs in almost every aspect of life. Prejudice is defined as “an unjustified or incorrect attitude towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social group” (McLeod). In the United States, people of the Muslim faith frequently experience prejudice and racial inequality. Vincent Parrillo outlines negative sociological understanding and how the effects of our culture influence the way we perceive…

    In the early phase of post-war immigration, there was an assumption that members of ethnic minority groups were no more likely to be offenders or victims than the majority white population. It was also assumed that the criminal justice system treated all ethnic groups fairly. According to a major investigation into police and immigrant relations in 1972 ‘black people were more law-abiding than the general population’ and there was little evidence against Black and Asian immigrants with regards to an increase in crime rates (Layton-Henry, 1992). During the next 10 years, however, relations between the police and the black community deteriorated and evidence mounted of increasing racist attacks.…

    Hate crime is a relatively new term in victimology and one that Jenness and Broad (1997) attribute the rise of to a series of progressive social movements in United States starting in the 1960s1. Chakraboti and Garland (2009) argue that in the UK hate crime appears to have gained momentum as a result of numerous high profile publicised events that took place such as the Brixton riots of 1981, the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1999 and the nail bomb attacks by David Copeland in 1999, all drawing widespread attention to the problems posed by crimes against members of minority groups6.…

    Xenophobia and racism are serious problems that affect many individuals and is caused by many factors. The Americans dislike and distrust towards middle eastern immigrants increased drastically when president Bush declared the full offensive against Islamist terrorist after the events of 9/11 (Gunduz, 2010, p. 35-36). The lack of minority rights for the Muslims in Europe influences the increasing hostility against them because they have no protection (p. 37). Danso & McDonald (2011) stated that the media plays a big role in the increasing cases of xenophobia because some media agencies…
