“…Researchers reveal heavy-handedness exhibited by the police in minority communities, highlighting a lack of respect toward African-American and other citizens of color in those communities when compared to majority-white communities ( Websdale, 2001 ; Lundman and Kaufman, 2003 ). Apart from the US, there is evidence on pervasive police presence in immigrant areas, for example among Black British or other ethnic minorities in the UK ( Athwal and Bourne, 2015 ; Vomfell and Stewart, 2021 ), people originating from North Africa in France or the Aboriginal people in Australia ( Antonopoulos, 2003 ). The police stops African–American drivers more frequently than would be expected based on population averages ( Walker, 2000 ; Lundman and Kaufman, 2003 ; Pierson et al, 2020 ), which is also supported by individuals’ self-reports ( Lundman and Kaufman, 2003 ).…”

In light of ongoing debates about racially motivated police violence, this paper examines two separate but interrelated phenomena: instances of police discrimination and mistrust in police and the judicial system among ethnic minorities in Germany. Analyses are carried out based on waves 1, 3, and 5 of the CILS4EU-DE data collected among 14 to 20 year-old respondents in Germany. The focus of the paper lies on young men from the Middle East, as well as Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa, who—as our study demonstrates—tend to disproportionally more often report discrimination experiences and particularly low levels of trust in police and courts compared to other ethnic minorities and the majority populations in Germany, and partially also in comparison to their female counterparts. We also show that more frequent experiences of police discrimination are associated with greater distrust of the police and partially also with courts among young men from the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa. Female adolescents from similar backgrounds are also more distrustful of the police, but this is not explained by their own experiences of police discrimination.

The British Approach to Islamists Deradicalisation: Success or Failure?

The article is devoted to deradicalization programmes in the UK. Their active development began after the terrorist attack in London in 2005. The article discusses the most notable deradicalization programmes: Prevent and Channel, aimed at those at risk of radicalization, as well as DDP and HII programmes developed for radical Islamists who are in prison or have been released on parole. The author also examines the question of how efficient these programmes have proved to be. The government announced obvious achievements in deradicalization, indicating that, due to the above programmes, more than 1,000 Britons have denounced their radical ideas. However, some representatives of the academic and Muslim communities have criticized the programmes pointing out that they do not have a serious ideological foundation, which leads to the stigmatization of the Muslim population in general and Muslim youth in particular. Inefficient spending of funds was also criticized. After the graduates of one of the programmes, who allegedly were successfully deradicalized, had committed terrorist attacks (Usman Khan in 2019, Sadesh Uman in 2020), the government began to tighten laws and revise the deradicalization programmes. However, an essential improvement of the programmes requires taking into account the full range of reasons for the growing popularity of radical ideas, including social, political and international ones. In particular, current deradicalization programmes are based on the assumption that radical Islam is an irrational evil, but do not take into account the fact that the radicalization of Muslim youth may be a reaction to the stigmatization they face in the British society, as well as to the UK's policy in the Middle East.

“…Although it is not formally intended as punishment, it can be experienced as such, as a critical part of the 'penal painscape' (Skinns and Wooff, 2020;Harkin, 2015). Police custody is also a site of (racialised) injustice, in which due process rights may be overlooked (Welsh et al, 2021), or people, especially those from minoritised groups, may be subject to the use of lethal force (Williams et al, 2023;Welsh et al, 2021;Angiolini, 2017;Athwal and Bourne, 2015;Razack, 2013;Pemberton, 2008). Therefore, we theorise how the material and the social impact detainee experiences, while also acknowledging that this socio-materiality arises in painful and dehumanising circumstances.…”

In this article, we examine detainee experiences of dignity in police detention through the lens of materiality. To do this, we draw on sociological and anthropological literature on the ‘material turn’ and its application to criminal justice settings, and a mixed-methods study of police custody in England and Wales. First, we conceptualise different dimensions of materiality in police custody. Second, we show how some forms of materiality, in conjunction with staff–detainee relationships, shape detainee dignity rooted in equal worth, privacy and autonomy. Third, we examine how the intertwining of the social and material in police custody opens up new possibilities for theorising police work. The materiality of police work is active, not just symbolic. Alongside social relations, it shapes citizen experiences of the police, including of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ forms of policing, and by implication, pain and injustice. Materiality therefore provides a further way of theorising the production of social order inside and outside police detention.
