The report emphasises the need to pursue effective BME recruitment programmes, which meet their operational needs. The research report highlighted disproportionality in ‘stop and search’, victims of violent racists attacks are increasingly invisible in Nottingham and there is a lack of diversity in policing. Policing, crime and criminal justice Decades of poor community relations and policing in Nottingham recently led to the commissioning of research by the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commission (in 2013) to explore the relationship between the black minority ethnic (BME) communities and the police. For the Indian groups the rate is 58.8% and Black or Black British 62.1% (Nottingham City Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2013, p15-16). The data for those aged 65, over 70% of Pakistani and Bangladeshi people have an LLTI, compared with 55.2% of White British people. For Black or Black British people the percentage was 46.5%. The statistic for the Indian group was 44.9%, over five times higher than the group’s statistic for 15 to 49 year olds ( the ratio for White British is 2.9). ![]() In relation to age, for people aged 50 to 64, the Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups had over 60% with an LLTI compared with 34% of White British people. For instance, people of Indian and Chinese ethnicity show lower rates of LLTI than other groups, whilst the Pakistani and Black Caribbean groups are considerably worse than average. Health and well being The data on the pattern of limiting long term illness (LLTI) which are considered to be determinants of a range of social and environmental conditions under which people live, highlight ethnic inequality in health and well- being. Research shows that BME staff tends to be under represented at all levels within the local Universities. However, black children feature disproportionately in exclusion from school. The Joint Area Review in 2007 identified white British boys and Pakistani boys as groups with poor attainment. Outcomes vary by age, by gender and over time. Education attainment Analysis of the educational attainment of Nottingham’s BME schoolchildren exposes differences in the rate of attainment but the picture that emerges is both complex and dynamic. BME youth unemployment is also disproportionately high. The average unemployment was 6.9% - only the mixed group and black group is above this. The Asian/Asian British is the lowest at 5.4%, which is lower than for the White population (6.5%). With regard to ethnicity, according to the 2011 Census, the highest rate of unemployment is 13%, amongst the ‘Mixed’ ethnic group. Over the last year, Nottingham’s unemployment has fallen by 16.5%, but at a slower rate than the regional and national falls in unemployment. ![]() The census found the BME population is significantly younger than the rest of the population. This group comprises of: 13.1% Asian/Asian British, 16.9% Black/Black British, 18.0% Mixed ethnic background and 29.8% other ethnic group (including people from Poland, Travellers and Romanians). According to the 2011 Census, the proportion of BME ethnic groups in Nottingham(shire) is 35.6%. The first wave of migrants to Nottingham in contemporary times came from the Caribbean in the 1950s. ![]() Demographic: Ethnic groups The large majority of people who live in Nottingham are White British. Furthermore, it is argued that whilst the structural effects of racism are evident, the effects are often accompanied by increasingly silent and muted discourse on racism, as the terms of articulation, analytical and critical, are dimmed and deleted, distorted and redirected thus creating a situation of ‘racisms without racism’ (Goldberg, 2007, p 360 in Lisa Palmer, 2014). Within this context, discrimination, disadvantage, racism and deprivation in the Black and minority ethnic (BME) communities have become further heightened and intensified. The evidence suggests that recent policies under the auspices of the government's neo-liberal orthodoxy on austerity, namely cuts to the public sector, welfare provision and the academisation of education, are having an adverse impact on the lives communities and people’s futures. Ranked the 20th most deprived city in the UK, Nottingham has a history of pursuing progressive measures for tackling deprivation. According to the legend, one of Nottingham’s best known figures, Robin Hood, took from the rich and gave to the poor, beginning the tradition of progressive economic redistribution.
