The criminal justice system makes racist assumptions and allows black people to believe they are beyond the law's protection, Lord Chief Justice Taylor told Leeds Race Issues Advisory Council in June. Having catalogued the sites of potential racism within the criminal justice system, and the "multiplier effect" which resulted in dramatic figures for black incarceration, he called for more racism awareness training for police, court staff, CPS and probation officers, despite the scepticism of critics who believe that most of those groups are well aware of how racist they are.
