摘要

“Black males have been the focus of most research on the criminalization of Black youth, while the experiences of Black females are often rendered invisible.” (Evans-Winters, 2005, p. 4). Much of the discussion surrounding racialised policing focuses on the experiences of Black males, while the experiences of Black women and girls remain relatively unexplored. Following global reckoning with police violence, the UK has faced growing evidence that racialised policing is not confined to Black men alone - it also deeply affects Black women and girls. Historically and contemporarily, the criminal justice system has been racialised and gendered, with multiple mechanisms such as stop and search, arrests, use of force, strip-searches, and police investigations operating at their intersections. For Black women and girls, policing reflects an intersectional logic of control, visibility, and exclusion, with their experiences of racialised policing systematically overlooked.
