AnnotationThe government launched its "Respect action plan" in January 2005. While the key focus was on anti-social behaviour, a more ambitious aim to create a "culture of respect" is suggested. This review critically evaluates the "respect" agenda to show why the view that black and minority ethnic (BME) concerns are "separate" or "secondary" is misguided. The review explains why we need to be clearer when we think about the idea of respect, and why BME Britons need to be more centrally included in the design of fair and effective policy. (RH).
