2.1.1 Racism and violence emptying immigrants

Commissioned by the BVD performed two scientific research investigating the causes of racism and anti-immigrant violence in Netherlands.

Scientific Research- en Documentatiecentrum (WODC) the Ministry of Justice studied based file analysis of the nature and extent of such violence in 1994 and researched the motives of perpetrators.

The Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law at the University of Utrecht conducted participant observation order youth to identify racist tendencies within youth cultures. The results of both studies are in May 1997 announced.

In parallel to these trials registers the BVD violent incidents directed against members of ethnic minority groups. Although the statistical material available is incomplete, The conclusion seems justified that the number of incidents, in comparison with 1995, are not or hardly increased. Perhaps there is a connection to the decline of extreme right, as shown by election results and the decrease in membership. This trend is also noticeable in Germany. There is a dramatic reduction in the number of incidents recorded.
