  • Dangerous associations : Joint enterprise, gangs and racism | Centre for Crime and Justice Studies
    http://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk/publications/dangerous-associations-joint-enterprise-gangs-and-racism

    This study examines the processes of criminalisation that contribute to unequal outcomes for young Black, Asian and Minority ethnic people. It has been written by Patrick Williams and Becky Clarke of Manchester Metropolitan University.

    The research draws on a survey of nearly 250 serving prisoners convicted under joint enterprise provisions. It tracks the complex process of criminalisaiton through which black and minority ethnic people are unfairly identified by the police as members of dangerous gangs.

    More than three-quarters of the black and minority ethnic prisoners reported that the prosecution claimed that they were members of a ‘gang’, compared to only 39 percent of white prisoners. This apparent ‘gang’ affiliation’ is used to secure convictions, under joint enterprise provisions, for offences they have not committed.

    The report also discusses police gang databases in Manchester, London and Nottingham, which claim to record gang association. These lists include people who ‘have no proven convictions and… those who have been assessed by criminal justice professionals as posing minimal risk’. They are also dominated by black and minority ethnic people, as a result of racial stereotyping.

    Dangerous associations: Joint enterprise, gangs and racism also forms part of the authors’ response to a call by the House of Commons Justice Committee for a rigorous consideration of the possible relationship between the disproportionate application of collective punishments/sanctions and in particular, the ieffect of joint enterprise on black and minority ethnic individuals and groups.

    The report concludes that, for all its injustices, the process of joint enterprise prosecution is not intended to be discriminatory. But in practice, young black and minority ethnic people are disproportionately at the receiving end of a series of criminal justice practices, starting with police gang databases and concluding with disproportionate joint enterprise convictions.

  • "Elle" dans la galaxie "Le Point"-"Causeur"

    Dans "Elle" du 5 avril, un article salue l’arrivée en kiosques de "Causeur", version papier du site d’Elisabeth Lévy. "Le magazine dont tout le monde parle", écrit Patrick Williams, "accueille tous les penseurs mécontemporains qui, au fil d’articles de fond, s’en prennent à notre époque pleine de bons sentiments, de clichés progressistes, de pensée unique".

    Et de citer "Alain Finkielkraut, Pascal Bruckner, Aldo Naouri".

    L’actionnaire de référence de "Causeur" est Gérald Penciolelli, l’ancien propriétaire du journal d’extrême droite "Minute" :

    L’occasion de se rappeler que la directrice de "Elle", Valérie Toranian, forme avec Franz-Olivier Giesbert, directeur du "Point" et grand ami d’Elisabeth Lévy, un couple classé en 2011 par "GQ magazine" parmi les "plus influents" :
