Discrimination claims against the police, Heather Williams QC. Legal Action August 2008, pp. 45-48. This is the first article of a two-part series that examines the “various definitions of discriminatory conduct by the police and gives practical examples of where such conduct could arise”.

A watchdog without bite, Jon Robins. Legal Action April 2008, pp. 7-8. This piece discusses the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and the Police Action Lawyers Group’s withdrawal of support from it along with the resignation of two members from the commission’s advisory board. The author observes that “The perception of the IPCC as a toothless watchdog is apparently contributing to a loss of confidence in the community.”

France: death in police custody, Virginia MacFadyen. European Race Bulletin no 64 (Summer) 2008, pp 16-18. On the death in police custody of 22-year old Abdelhakim Ajimi in the city of Grasse (Alpes-Maritimes) and raises a number of unanswered questions about it.
