ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that the countries included here have different experiences of minority ethnic groups and migrants. It focuses on the important issue of establishing the racist motive of the offenders when discussing and researching racist victimization. Conversely, since 1990, the United Nations under the Hate Crime Statistics Act, has been collecting hate crime statistics and Britain derives its hate crime data from the British Crime Survey. Although racist victimization and conventional, criminal victimization are in many respects similar and occupy many common elements, they are simultaneously different. In addition, research should focus on the perpetrators of racist violence and should unravel, at least to an extent, the dynamics that lead to the racist victimization process. At present, the extent, nature and quality of information and statistics on racist victimization is wanted at both a national and international level.
