The Rt Hon David Lammy MP’s pioneering review of racial disparity in the criminal justice system is exposing levels of potential bias that are cause for serious concerns.

The review’s interim findings, published last November, came with in-depth analysis to help identify the stages of the system at which disproportionality is most pronounced. It also evidenced that black men and women continue to be sentenced more harshly than white men and women for committing the same type of crime; over 40% of prisoners under the age of 18 are BAME; and that the number of Muslim prisoners has almost doubled in the last decade.

Having illustrated the huge challenge government faces in tackling what could be institutionalised inequalities in the criminal justice system, David Lammy is now in the final stages of completing his report. He will be sharing some of the in-depth, real-life insights this review has uncovered; and setting the scene for a national, political debate on these issues.

Learning from each other to improve outcomes for BAME people in the criminal justice system.

Supported by Clinks, this half day event explores how the voluntary sector has contributed to David Lammy’s Independent Review into race in the criminal justice system.

Delegates will hear from David Lammy about how his review is progressing, and will also hear from organisations about the work they are doing to address some of the disproportionalities identified.

This will be an opportunity to discuss the review’s interim findings and consider how we can work together to build on the progress made.
