The project will carry out the first empirical study of race and criminal justice in Wales. The reasons for the existing gap in this area are two-fold. Firstly, research into the distinct arrangements of criminal justice in post-devolution Wales remains relatively underdeveloped. Although there are a growing number of studies in this area (e.g. Newman and Dehaghani, 2022), the topic of race remains relatively unexplored. Indeed, although Jones and Wyn Jones (2022: 53) present top-line data to reveal the extent of racial disproportionality within the Welsh CJS, the authors concede that there are 'limitations' to their approach and that a 'great deal of complexity' would be uncovered should future research be able to 'delve deeper' into the issue. Secondly, while sociological studies have attempted to theorise and challenge the dominant 'race-blind' construction of Wales and Welsh identity, research exploring the accounts of BAME Communities in Wales have largely neglected criminal justice (e.g. Williams et al. 2015). This project will look to act as a bridge between these two pillars of critical thought and contribute to an emerging and developing field of socio-legal study.

该项目将对威尔士的种族和刑事司法进行第一次实证研究。这一领域存在差距的原因有两方面。首先，对权力下放后威尔士刑事司法的独特安排的研究仍然相对欠发达。虽然这一领域的研究越来越多（例如，纽曼和Dehaghani，2022年），但种族问题仍然相对未加探讨。事实上，虽然琼斯和韦恩·琼斯（2022：53）提出了顶级数据，以揭示威尔士CJS中种族歧视的程度，但作者承认，他们的方法存在“局限性”，如果未来的研究能够“深入研究”这个问题，将会发现“大量的复杂性”。其次，虽然社会学研究试图理论化和挑战威尔士和威尔士身份的主导“种族盲”建设，探索威尔士BAME社区的研究在很大程度上忽视了刑事司法（例如威廉姆斯等人。该项目将作为批判性思维这两大支柱之间的桥梁，并为新兴和发展中的社会法律研究领域做出贡献。
