Violent Racism
«... undoubtedly the most rigorous and searching study of its kind, while also being readable and accessible.»
Criminal Justice 1 (2) (no date)
This book gives a detailed analysis of official documents, and of the historical origins of racist violence. It uses the conclusions to analyse why the ideas and language of white supremacy and racial exclusion direct violence at 'non-white' individuals, and why the police response is so routinely ineffectual.

«His grasp of the subtle complexities of the issues posed by this topic are evident in the central theme that informs much of the analysis.»

«This is a comprehensive, well laid out, state of the art, survey of the police response to violent racist behaviour, set in context of the history and sociological literature of racism and policing in this country ... This brilliant study will become an essential text for anyone (and everyone should be) concerned with racism and policing.»
