Developing Good Practice with Racially Motivated Offenders

Abstract

This article considers a number of issues relating to practice with racially motivated offenders, including a new typology that throws light on different offender profiles, the complexity of risk assessment and the need for training and effective multi-agency work. The authors consider the unique nature of offending and draw on experiences from the Greenwich Targeted Policing Initiative which is now being held up as a ‘beacon’ of good practice.
