In this session, you'll explore the controversial issue of racism in youth justice. You'll be asked to consider how and why racism is such an important topic. And begin by looking at its fatal consequences in youth justice in the cases of Stephen Lawrence and Zahid Mubarek.

You'll also be looking at ethnicity and explore why this concept is related to race and racism. You'll get the chance to explore some youth subcultures. And consider the positive contributions of young people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds to the diverse multi-cultures of the UK.

At the end of the session, you'll look at how racism's focus on cultural difference gets funneled into hostility towards Muslims. And you'll explore the impact of stereotypes here, too.
