| dc.description.tableofcontents | 6. A decision by a senior British police officer to retire before facing disciplinary charges for his part in the investigation of the murder of Stephen Lawrence has caused controversy in Britain. Lawrence, an 18 year old black Jamaican student was murdered by a gang of white youths in South London in 1993. All senior officers involved in the case have now retired and no one has been convicted of the crime. This failure to catch the killers has damaged the relationship between the black community and the London Metropolitan police. Writer and broadcaster Yasmin Alibhai-Brown speaks out on how this bungled murder investigation vindicates the black community views on racist attacks. John Halveston former Commissioner comments on possible disciplinary action against Bullock and changes in rules which allows Police Officers to avoid disciplinary action. Lawyer Imran Khan suggests that a civil suit may be the only legal action left for the Lawrence family. Stephen’s mother Doreen Lawrence laments on the lack of justice for her son.
