International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

Today (21 March 2012) is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and to mark it, the OU has published a collection of audio tracks on iTunes U.

The collection includes a series on crime, order and social control, visiting UK communities to explore the issues of criminal justice and crime control initiatives, including a track on the killing of Stephen Lawrence.

There’s also a collection on race and rights, looking at how the legal system impacts on the lives of social workers; and another on classifying races, offering an insight into how large communities are organised to regulate their social behaviour.
