The Macpherson Report highlighted the increasing problem of:
hate crimes: violence against ethnic minorities simply because of their race
institutional racism: systematic forms of disadvantage built into the routines and practices of social institutions
overt racism in the police force that must be tackled by institutional reforms
growing numbers of asylum seekers in need of long term accommodation
institutional racism: systematic forms of disadvantage built into the routines and practices of social institutions
The Macpherson Report was a government inquiry into the Metropolitan Police’s handling of the case of the murder of a black teenager, Stephen Lawrence. The inquiry concluded that the inefficient treatment of the case was indicative of a more widespread ‘institutional racism’ within the police force. That is, it was not that individual police officers were overtly racist, but that more subtle forms of discrimination were built into the working routines and bureaucratic practices of the institution. 228-229
