Following on from the last lesson where we looked into the murder of Stephen Lawrence we will be analysing the subsequent report made by Lord Macpherson.
We talked about how the case had highlighted racism and prejudice within the police and legal system, and even assumptions made by the jury.
Now we will investigate the recommendations made by the report, and decide whether we think the changes would be/have been effective.
