RACIST VIOLENCE IN 15 EU MEMBER STATES - A Comparative Overview of Findings from the RAXEN NFP Reports 2001-2004 21. Responses to Racist Violence by Member States 21.1. STUMBLING BLOCKS TO EFFECTIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESPONSES 21.1.1. Non-reporting and non-recording Looking at the country profiles, and the summary of research findings in the previous chapter, it is clear that there is a real dearth of comprehensive official and unofficial information on the extent and nature of racist violence in the old 15 EU Member States. As outlined in Part I, Chapter Three, the reasons for this lack of data are manifest. At one level, many jurisdictions have not given the reporting, recording and monitoring of racist violence much significance. While some Member States, such as Austria and Germany, place great weight on monitoring the activities of extreme right-wing organisations, which can include acts of racist violence, this approach does not capture the full range of violent racism. By focusing on the activities of certain groups, the everyday realities of violent racism, as perpetrated by people who are not affiliated to extremist groups and, in particular, young people and children, can be overlooked. At another level, but connected to the first, is the simple fact that victims of racist violence do not report their experiences of victimisation to the police. If police cultures do not proactively pursue a ‘victim friendly’ service, and one which is geared to the needs of particular groups such as victims of racist violence, victims will not feel encouraged to report their victimisation. 190
RACIST VIOLENCE IN 15 EU MEMBER STATES - A Comparative Overview of Findings from the RAXEN NFP Reports 2001-2004 Herein, a cyclical relationship leads to under-reporting and under-recording of racist violence – see Figure 6. Victims see police as disinterested Victims do not report to the police Police do not record racist violence Figure 6: Under-reporting to the police However, if victims feel that by reporting to the police their experience of victimisation will be taken seriously, and that the police will actively look into their case, then they are more likely to report to the police. Hence the police are more likely to record reports of racist violence – see Figure 7. Victims see police as interested Victims report to the police Police record racist violence Figure 7: Enhanced reporting to the police 191
