"Drawing on evidence from a study of Black Police Associations in English and Welsh constabularies, this article addresses perceived changes in the articulation of racialised relations within the police during the years following Lord Macpherson's Report about the police investigation of Stephen Lawrence's murder. Association officials argued that overt racism has been replaced by covert racism, evidence of which is, by definition, difficult to establish. Black Police Association officials' and senior officers' views of this change are discussed. Sources of evidence of covert racism are described and analysed, often related to Macpherson's definition of 'institutional racism'." [Sub required]
