Policing Race and Nightlife

This book exposes how policing and licensing practices shape UK nightlife as a racialized space, with harmful consequences for Black and Gypsy and Traveller communities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with key nightlife stakeholders, it reveals how

governance structures – from police-led meetings to licensing decisions – work to suppress racialized night-time events and Black male performers.

Through critical analysis of police diversity training, the discriminatory actions of door staff and security teams as well as street-level policing practices, this study offers a timely intervention into debates on race, surveillance and nightlife. It is essential reading for scholars of policing, racial justice and night-time economy studies in the UK and beyond.
