Abstract

This article examines the prevalence of racial violence in the UK's night-time economy. Fifty-five racial attacks are documented over a six-month period, showing the risks faced by members of the public and workers at taxi firms, takeaways, convenience stores and service stations. It argues that flexible and highly casualised labour conditions, combined with increasing numbers of immigration raids, exacerbate the risk of racial violence.
