Joint enterprise laws, originally intended to govern aristocratic duels, now often result in severe miscarriages of justice, disproportionately affecting young black men in gang-related cases.
Bishop Joanne emphasized the serious implications of joint enterprise laws, raising concerns over wrongful convictions and the law's racial discrimination, particularly against black youths in London.
Bishop Grenfell's involvement in investigating the joint enterprise law reflects her commitment to addressing racial injustice within the UK's legal framework.
The Bishop noted that convicted individuals might face severe penalties merely for being present at a crime scene, highlighting the need for justice reform.
