This fascinating book uses case studies to explore a number of high-profile and contemporary 'social problems' that exist in British society, including:

• Racism and institutional racism
• Ethnic and religious community segregation

• Homophobia, institutional homophobia and community safety

At the same time the book examines various legislative and strategic movements introduced to tackle these social problems, for example strategies to counter institutional prejudices (especially in policing), hate crime legislation, managed migration, community safety and community cohesion strategies. Throughout the book, McGhee contextualizes these strategies within the Government's wider project of attemping to revitalize British citizenship.
