An article examined the concept of 'race hate' that had emerged and flourished in British society in recent years. It discussed a number of inter-related issues that constituted important causal factors in articulations of 'race hate' among sections of the white working class. Many of these issues related to deep-seated structural factors like socio-economic marginalization and perceived challenges to hegemonic white identity.

A new book examined the importance of social identities when considering crime, victimization, and criminal justice. It explored race equality and criminal justice; gender, crime, and victimization; the increasing role that faith communities played in community justice; hate crimes committed against individuals, motivated by prejudice; and community engagement and participation in criminal justice, community cohesion, and civil renewal.
