CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: Race and the CJS

‘Race and the criminal justice system’ reports statistical information on the representation of black and minority ethnic groups as suspects, offenders and victims within the criminal justice system and on employees within criminal justice agencies. The data presented in the report suggests that there have been some developments since the 2007/08 publication of these statistics for example, in clear-up rates of racially or religiously aggravated offences. However, some substantial differences continue to exist in the experiences of people from BME groups compared with people from a White background.
