  • Challenging the Harms of the 'Muslim Grooming Gangs' Narrative
    RAC0010.1177/0306396819895727Race & ClassCockbain and Tufail 895727research-article2020 SAGE Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC, Melbourne Failing victims, fuelling hate: challenging the harms of the ‘Muslim grooming gangs’ narrative ELLA COCKBAIN and WAQAS TUFAIL Abstract: ‘Muslim grooming gangs’ have become a defining feature of media, political and public debate around child sexual exploitation in the UK. The dominant narrative that has emerged to explain a series of horrific cases is misleading, sensationalist and has in itself promoted a number of harms. This article examines how racist framings of ‘Muslim grooming gangs’ exist not only in extremist, far-right fringes but in mainstream, liberal discourses too. The involvement of supposedly feminist and liberal actors and the promotion of pseudoscientific ‘research’ have lent a veneer of legitimacy to essentialist, Ella Cockbain is an associate professor at University College London in the Department of Security and Crime Science and a visiting research fellow at Leiden University. Her research focuses on human trafficking, child sexual exploitation and labour exploitation. In seeking evidence- informed responses to complex issues, she has worked closely with organisations across the public, private and third sectors. Her book Offender and Victim Networks in Human Trafficking was published by Routledge in 2018. Waqas Tufail is a senior lecturer in Criminology at Leeds Beckett University. His research interests concern the policing, racialisation and criminalisation of marginalised and minority communities and the lived experiences of Muslim minorities. He is a board member of the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Racism, Nationalism, Indigeneity and Ethnicity, serves on the editorial board of Sociology of Race and Ethnicity and is co-editor of Media, Crime, Racism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018).

Please cite the published version Authors: Dr Nadya Ali, Lecturer in International Relations, University of Sussex Dr Ben Whitham, Lecturer in International Relations, De Montfort University Corresponding author: Dr Ben Whitham ([email protected]), Lecturer in International Relations, Department of Politics, People and Place, De Montfort University, Leicester. 1 The Unbearable Anxiety of Being: Ideological Fantasies of British Muslims beyond the Politics of Security Abstract Since the advent of the 'War on Terror' British Muslims have been designated as a source of anxiety by politicians, journalists and publics alike. Fears that began over terrorism have extended to the opening of Islamic faith schools, the meaning of clothing and halal slaughter. Critical scholarship that engages with these developments in the fields of politics and international relations tends to view them through paradigms of (in)security. Whilst these contributions have been helpful in understanding the construction of a Muslim 'problem', this article demonstrates how the array of issues incorporated by this problem exceeds the politics of security. The article develops an original conceptual and analytic framework, drawing upon Slavoj Žižek's Lacanian theory of ideology, to argue that political and media ‘scandals’ about what an imagined 'Muslim community' gets up to are best understood as ideological fantasies.

He also injured three other people during his rampage. No surprise that the Merkel regime doesn’t think locking up obviously crazy failed asylum seekers until they can be deported is a good idea. No great surprise 1st August 2017 You do kind of expect to hear that the head of student equality at Cambridge university has ended up in trouble for making lots of nasty, racialist posts on anti-social meeja. That sort of character always feels that the rulz don’t apply to it. What are schools really for? 1st August 2017 The nation’s child health experts are advocating breast- feeding lessons for 11-year-old girls and boys, who should be getting to grips with reading, writing and sums at that age. This suggests that the experts are planning as their next move to encourage girls to get pregnant at 12, while there’s a chance they might still remember the lessons – possibly as part of a scheme to let women take care of breeding in their teens so that they don’t have an interrupted working life? This process will be helped, of course, by a greater focus on sex and relationship education at the expense of academic subjects.

On 7 May 2015, there was a general election in the United Kingdom. One of the parties fielding candidates for election was the United Kingdom Independence Party (“UKIP”). Like most political parties, UKIP had local branches. One of those branches was Bristol UKIP. It had a Twitter account - @BristolUKIP – which was used for campaigning. At 20.42 on 4 May 2015, a Tweet was posted on the Bristol UKIP Twitter account (“the 4 May Tweet”). It consisted of a photograph of Sarah Champion, the Labour member of Parliament for Rotherham, together with two men. One of those men was Zahir Monir, the Claimant in this action. The text of the 4 May Tweet, obviously referring to the photograph, was: Sarah champion labour candidate for THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE NICKLIN Monir -v- Wood Approved Judgment Rotherham stood with 2 suspended child grooming taxi drivers DO NOT VOTE LABOUR (Throughout this judgment, I set out various Tweets exactly as they appeared, so what may appear to be errors of spelling, grammar or punctuation appear in the original text.) 2.
