Abstract
In 2002, Strathclyde Police commissioned a Glasgow University team of researchers to examine the policing of racist incidents and crimes in the Strathclyde force area. The study was carried out between August 2002 and April 2003. Aims of the research  The Force asked us to address several key concerns. We were asked to examine the range and prevalence of racist incidents occurring in the Force area, and to whom these were being reported, if anyone. We were also asked to look at the Force's procedures for receiving, recording and witnessing racist incidents. This required us to consider what impact these have had on public awareness and on police officer awareness. We were also asked to examine how successfully these procedures address the needs of victims, witnesses and others, and the delivery of policing services to the various communities in the Force area. We were asked to report on the views, experiences and perceptions of people from minority and majority ethnic backgrounds. We were to highlight the best of police practice and areas requiring improvement.
