Drawing our attention to how the judicial system perceives and treats those
seeking asylum, this week IRR Trustee Frances Webber was featured on the
Still We Rise podcast to discuss
https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNDYxMTExMDQyMjY1MDYxMjgzJmM9ZDhmOCZlPTE5MjgmYj0xMzA5NzM4NjY2JmQ9bzlhOGs1aA==.3FHagq_7vWmKwLsUnvDP9wCfWYNcv9Go6iHJq2LRdpw
the prosecution and conviction of Ibrahima Bah – a young Senegalese asylum
seeker sentenced for nine and a half years after being held criminally
responsible for the drowning of at least four people. Following on from her
article ‘No Safe Routes’

in the London Review of Books, Webber outlines how legal outcomes are often
influenced by political imperatives – the consequences of which are
recorded in our regular calendar of racism and resistance

New Race & Class
Systemic injustice and the criminal legal system
https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNDYxMTExMDQyMjY1MDYxMjgzJmM9ZDhmOCZlPTE5MjgmYj0xMzA5NzM4NjcwJmQ9ZzhmNG80bg==.MOh1HScS5mVRHVLrhHCs_hl9qcywNCcAKNQfLMdmfYo
Racism seeps into every aspect of criminal ‘justice’ and radical scholars
are exposing the breadth and depth of the issue. The April 2024 issue of
Race & Class contains cutting-edge articles on the criminal legal system,
adding to a growing number of campaigns voices rejecting the normalisation
of systemic injustice in the courts.
Drill rap lyrics are used regularly by police and prosecutors as plausible
evidence against young Black working-class defendants in UK criminal cases.
In the lead article, ‘Racist inferences and flawed data: drill rap lyrics
as criminal evidence in group prosecutions
https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNDYxMTExMDQyMjY1MDYxMjgzJmM9ZDhmOCZlPTE5MjgmYj0xMzA5NzM4NjcxJmQ9bTRsNWE2eA==.gtkdU0eSehgxSHNNGPXAGIajT6kB8-ISUK1K0ORgQtY’,
Eithne Quinn, professor of Cultural Studies at the University of
Manchester, examines state interpretations of drill lyrics in the
preparation of serious crime cases, focusing on a 2020 joint enterprise
murder case in London. By forensically unpacking the way the state uses
violent rap lyrics to build secondary liability in group prosecutions, she
shows how drill lyrics are quoted to invoke popular stereotypes and even
mislead the court.
