Drawing on research commissioned by North West England local authority Crime Reduction Partnerships Patrick Williams will argue that the use of the ‘gang’ label wrongly justifies a stark over-policing of Black communities. It also acts as an inhibitor to the identification and resolution of other more acute socio-economic problems endured within Black and Minority Ethnic communities.
More contentiously, he will also argue that the discipline of criminology contributes to the 'otherisation' of young Black men. The contemporary over-criminalisation of young black men, and their discriminatory treatment by the criminal justice system, reflects a continuity of the ‘Black folk devil’ inherent in a growing body of ‘uncritical’ criminology.
