Hi, need to submit a 8500 words essay on the topic Race and Crime.

Robbery - Incidents in which force or the threat of force is used either during or immediately prior to a theft or attempted theft.

Sampling error - A sample is a small-scale representation of the population from which it is drawn. As such, the sample may produce estimates which differ from the figures which would have been obtained if the whole population had been interviewed.

Statistical significance/Weighted data - Raw data from the survey is adjusted in various ways at the data processing stage to correct for imbalances introduced in sampling and by the design of the interview.

The overall aim of this study is to provide an understanding of how violence has been understood from the perspective of race particularly for South Asian offenders in England. Therefore this study will aspire to enhance current explanations, and explore connections between various forms of violence and race, with a view to aid prevention, reduction and eventual elimination. After the Black minority, Males of South Asian origin find themselves represented in prisons in a rather disproportionate way. Academic opinion has suggested that this may be because of the 'race and crime' debate which is basically related to the fact whether certain ethnic minorities (South Asian and Black Men in this case) are over-represented in the prison population today. This may be because of elevated rates of offending. Alternatively there is a case to be made for the discriminatory treatment in the English Legal system (leading to miscarriages of justice).This paper will discuss the empirical, theoretical, practical and policy issues and address matters of representation, knowledge production, the historical contextualization of South Asian...

This may be because of elevated rates of offending. Alternatively there is a case to be made for the discriminatory treatment in the English Legal system (leading to miscarriages of justice).This paper will discuss the empirical, theoretical, practical and policy issues and address matters of representation, knowledge production, the historical contextualization of South Asian Males and suggest a way forward for the government as well as youth and community workers to pave the way forward for a better understanding to the problems of South Asian ethnic minorities.

The paper starts with a general discussion of what defines the male South Asian minority and how this class has constantly faced economic and social pressures over the years.
