Stephen Lawrence case

The Stephen Lawrence case involves the murder of a black teenager, Stephen, in London in 1993, amid racial tensions. Despite witnesses, initial investigations were flawed, leading to delayed justice. Two men were eventually convicted in 2012, but many believe powerful biases and institutional failures contributed to the case’s mishandling. The tragedy prompted widespread discussion on racism, police conduct, and the need for reform in the UK justice system to ensure accountability and fair treatment for all.
