The drivers of black and Asian people’s perceptions of racial discrimination by public services: A qualitative study
Gervais, M., Department for Communities and Local Government, January 2008
This study uses qualitative methods, such as individual in-depth interviews, to examine perceptions of racial discrimination in public services by black and minority ethnic people.  Considering factors such as personal beliefs and level of awareness, the report pinpoints the most influential drivers of perceived racism and considers how these might be used to improve services for black minority ethnic service users.  Although the report covers 8 major areas of public services, Chapter 5 covers the perception of discrimination in housing organisations in detail.
