Access to justice, just procedures and fair hearings are essential elements of our justice system. To ensure the system works properly such elements need to cater for parties and witnesses, who by reason of mental or physical disability/disorder, impairment of intellectual or social functioning, fear or distress, or other reason, are vulnerable such that their ability to participate in proceedings, or to give their best evidence, may be impaired. 2. More than twenty years ago attention became focused on the need to address the issues faced by 1 vulnerable witnesses before the criminal courts and in 1999 the Youth and Criminal Justice Act set out the structure to enable adequate assistance and protection that is not only still in force but used on a daily basis in criminal courts. By 2014/15 the President of the Family Division noted the issues faced by vulnerable witnesses and parties in the family courts and stated that family law was 2 “lagging woefully behind criminal law” and set up a working party. Wider appreciation grew amongst the Judiciary and professional bodies that issues such as the nature and extent of ques- tioning of vulnerable witnesses needed to be evaluated and changes made; including through be- 3 4 spoke training. As Mr Justice Green stated in December 2015; “...how the courts treat those who are exposed and weak is a barometer of our moral worth as a society. Many of those we encounter in the criminal and family courts are from troubled back- 5 grounds and have suffered a lifetime of disadvantage, prejudice and abuse.” 3. In 2017, following detailed analysis by the working party, the Family Procedure Rules were amended to make specific provision for vulnerable parties and witnesses. 6 4. Since 1999 the Civil Procedure Rules allow the use of many of the methods/forms of assistance and protection for vulnerable parties and witnesses used in the criminal and family courts. However, there is no specific rule in relation to vulnerable witnesses/parties and the existing rules have been 1 See

  • 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).

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.

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.

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 30 January 1972, 13 people were shot and killed in Derry/Londonderry by members of the Parachute Regiment. An inquiry was established into the circumstances of the deaths, chaired by Lord Widgery, then the Lord Chief Justice. His conclusions, which included a “strong suspicion” that some of those who had died had been handling weapons, were widely condemned as a whitewash. The events of the day remained an open sore in the city and beyond. A lengthy campaign by the families, adopted by academics, politicians and journalists, followed. A quarter of a century later a fresh inquiry was ordered. The conclusions exonerated all of those who died, laid blame at state actors for the deaths and vindicated those who had campaigned over the decades. Sadly, many relatives of those who died did not live to see the outcome for which they had fought. 2. On 15 April 1989, 96 people received fatal injuries during a crush at a football match at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield. An inquiry was established into the circumstances of the deaths, chaired by Lord Justice Taylor, later the Lord Chief Justice.

These proceedings concern twoa directions issued by the Prime Minister, requiring the Intelligence Services Commissioner (the “IS Commissioner”) and now the Investigatory Powers Commissioner (the “IP Commissioner”) to oversee unspecified covert activities by one or more of the Government Communication Headquarters (“GCHQ”), the Secret Intelligence Service (“SIS”) and the Security Service (together the “Agencies”). The contents of the direction, even its subject matter, are were secret but were been disclosed after this claim was issued. These secret activities were and are sufficiently serious that the Prime Minister considers they require statutory oversight. 1 2. On 6 March 2018 the previously secret current and former directions were published. They are concerned with the “application of the Security Service guidelines on the use of agents who participate in criminality and authorisations issued in accordance with them”. No such guidelines have ever been published, in whole or in part. The “guidelines” therefore purport to authorise criminal conduct in accordance with an undisclosed and secret policy. 2.3. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs is the minister responsible for GCHQ and SIS.

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.
