Stephen Lawrence was a British teenager who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in southeast London in 1993. His death sparked widespread public outrage and led to a major inquiry into the police's handling of the case. In 1999 the Macpherson Report concluded that the police investigation had been “marred by a combination of professional incompetence, institutional racism and a failure of leadership”. This led to significant reforms within law enforcement, including changes to how race-related crimes are handled.
