'Realising rights: increasing ethnic minority women's access to justice'.
The criminal justice system has been found to be both institutionally racist and
institutionally sexist.1 Over the last decade, there has been improved policy
development acknowledging the disadvantages faced by ethnic minorities in the
criminal justice system on the one hand and the experiences of women as victims,
offenders and workers in the justice sector on the other. However, these interventions
have tended to build on the experiences of ethnic minority men and White women
respectively. As a result, the needs of ethnic minority women, which can be quite
different from both of these groups, are frequently rendered invisible. |

Community Cohesion and Race
Following the disturbances in Bradford, Oldham and Burnley, the Home Secretary announced a Community Cohesion Review Team (Cantle) and an inter-departmental Ministerial Group on Public Order and Community Cohesion (Denham). The investigation identified problems of deep polarisation, fragmented communities and ignorance about each other’s communities. The resulting strategy aims to promote Community Cohesion based upon a greater knowledge of, contact between and respect for various cultures, and to establish a sense of greater citizenship. |

ERA BRIEFING PAPER NO.2
BRIEFING PAPER NO.2 - FEBRUARY 2010
Direct democracy, racism and the extreme Right
How can governments encourage more of the population
to get involved in the democratic process? This is the
question currently on the lips of politicians and civil servants
across Europe. And the solution is found in ‘direct
democracy’.(1) European politicians want to counter
growing voter apathy and political cynicism by giving
citizens more opportunities to vote on important issues
and have their voices heard. Thus, under the European
Citizens’ Initiative of the Lisbon Treaty, if the signatures
of one million EU citizens are gathered from a significant
number of member states, then the petitioners will be
able to present a legislative or treaty amendment, and |

The BME Population of North Somerset - A Scoping Report
It is an attempt to assemble substantial data about the landscape of the Black Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in North Somerset.
The report highlights the role that such knowledge should play in service planning, commissioning, provision, and service delivery by the statutory agencies. The report’s strength as a scoping exercise is that it draws on SREC’s links and particular involvement with the BME communities, providing us with a good ‘on the ground’ idea of the size, characteristics, and needs of the BME population in North Somerset as communicated to SREC in various ways. It is our view that the importance of such data in facilitating fairer and more equitable service provision for all cannot be over emphasised, and there is quite a lot of relevant information contained in this report. But we also freely accept that there are still gaps in that knowledge. |

The Equanomics UK Index -January 2010
In this issue we explore several aspects of systemic inequality. We question whether some of the current views are based on a perpsective that can 'go beyond race' especially since the election of Barack Obama. In particular there has been a questioning of the appropriateness of the terminology of institutional Racism despite this year of the 10th anniversity of the Lawrence Inquiry report which was remarkable not least for the fact that an establishment inquiry defined Institutional Racism and levelled it at the police. |

The Stephen Lawrence Inquiry 10 years on - A Critical Review of the Literature
This report from the Runnymede Trust sets out the key recommendations of the literature review. There are some indications of positive change, most notably in the way the Crown Prosecution Service takes cases involving racist motivation more seriously. However, there remain many ways in which the relationship between police and Black and minority ethnic groups has not changed significantly from 10 years ago. |

The Swiss referendum on minarets: background
The Swiss referendum on minarets: background
and aftermath
On 29 November 2009, Switzerland became the first
country in Europe to vote to curb the religious practices
of Muslims when a referendum, banning the construction
of minarets on mosques, was backed by a strong
majority. As a result, Article 72 of the Swiss Federal
Constitution regulating relations between the state and
religion was amended to include the statement: ‘the
construction of minarets will be forbidden’. The result,
which shocked the political establishment, which had
confidently predicted its defeat, has resulted in much
soul-searching about the Swiss system of direct democracy,
with the federal government placed under increasing
pressure to annul people’s initiatives that obviously
contradict fundamental principles of international law
or the Swiss Constitution.

Briefing 282 Under-users of the Conutryside
People from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, the disabled, young people, people who live in inner cities, women, older people and those on low incomes all make limited use of the countryside. All thought that making more use of it would be beneficial to them but there were significant factors limiting their access. There is a lack of understanding among service providers about the needs of under-represented groups and so opportunities from inclusion for both the user and provider are lost. |
