This paper sketches an analytical framework to conceptualise the way racial power and socio-economic precarity impacts the everyday lives of young minority ethnic Londoners. Using life histories, photo-elicitation and vignettes, it aims to elucidate the pains of racism and economic marginalisation using and extending the notions of measurement (depth, breadth, looseness and tightness) drawn from Crewe’s (2011) conceptualisation of the contemporary pains of imprisonment. While there is no intention to imply a straightforward parallel between systems of penal power and racial power, the commonalities in the feelings evoked are stark in their affect and effect.

Coretta Phillips is an Associate Professor (Reader) at the LSE in the Department of Social Policy and she is also a member of the Mannheim Centre for Criminology. Coretta's research interests lie in the field of race, ethnicity, crime and social policy.
