Policing 'Race' Through 'Crime'

Critically evaluate the colonial history of British policing.

Knowledge

Assess agendas that address violence and harm reduction beyond the criminal justice system.

Skills

Demonstrate awareness of the ethical and political implications of policing and criminal justice measures in the context of urban violence.

Values and attitudes

Assess the perspectives of Black studies, Black intellectual thought, and expressive culture more broadly with respect to ‘race’ and ‘crime’.

Evaluate evidence of racial injustice from an intersectional perspective that does not neglect gender and class inequality.

Compare various approaches to violence and harm that depart from standard, mainstream criminological and criminal justice definitions, understandings and responses.

Respect your peers, value their work and be conscious of the need to avoid plagiarism.

Show respect and tolerance for other people in the module.

Develop a critical awareness of how ‘crime’ becomes racialised and how ‘blackness’ is policed through racist politics and cultural narratives of law and order.
