联合企业(JE)是一种非同寻常的法律手段，用于惩罚和(重新)生产那些经常被认为威胁英国国家规范边界的人。在承认过度代表权和使用集体惩罚的全球相关性方面，本文介绍了英格兰和威尔士根据乙脑法律被定罪的囚犯的记录。分析揭示了一个特定的刑事化过程，通过警察和皇冠检方团队在法庭上构建“帮派”叙事，以推动对负面种族主义社区成员的不成比例的惩罚。令人担忧的是，调查结果显示，年轻的黑人男性尤其面临着因他们没有犯下的罪行而被定罪和惩罚的风险。本文实证地论证了这种种族不公正是如何源于一系列有针对性和刑事化的政策和做法的。
Joint enterprise (JE) is an extraordinary legal device deployed to punish and (re)produce those who are frequently presented as threatening the normative boundaries of the British state. In acknowledging the global relevance of over-representation and the use of collective punishment, this paper presents the accounts of prisoners who have been convicted under JE laws across England and Wales. Analysis reveals a particular process of criminalisation through police and crown prosecution teams’ construction of the ‘gang’ narrative in courtrooms to drive the disproportionate punishment of members of negatively racialised communities. Of concern, the findings reveal that young Black men in particular are at risk of being convicted and punished for offences they did not commit. This paper empirically demonstrates how such racial injustice originates from a series of targeted and criminalising policies and practices.
