This report presents data on respondents’ experiences of victimisation across five crime types: theft of or from a vehicle; burglary or attempted burglary; theft of personal property not involving force or threat (personal theft); assault or threat; and serious harassment. It is the first EU-wide survey to ask 23,500 individuals with an ethnic and minority background about their experiences of discrimination and criminal victimisation in everyday life. The average rate of criminal victimisation for all groups surveyed was 24 %. More ‘visible’ minority groups – that is, those who look visibly different to the majority population – report, on average, higher levels of victimisation than immigrant or minority groups who look similar to the majority population. These results, however, mask significant differences depending on the EU Member State in which generic respondent groups, such as ‘Roma’ or ‘Sub-Saharan African’, live. On average, 18 % of all Roma and 18 % of all Sub-Saharan African respondents in the survey indicated that in the 12 months prior to the survey they had experienced at least one personal crime.

An examination of the statistics on asylum applications in the countries of the European Union reveals some specific patterns of origin and destination. The importance is analysed of three group factors in explaining the patterns of destination of asylum seekers: ties between the country of origin and country of asylum, the characteristics of the countries of destination and events during the actual flight and journey which might influence the destination of the asylum seeker.

Poverty, ethnic minorities among the poor, and preferences for redistribution in European regions

This paper examines in what social contexts rich people are more likely to support government redistribution of income. In particular it focuses on the attributes of the poor that might be relevant for the willingness of the rich to support income redistribution. The study aimed to examine whether the relationship between own income and redistributive preferences depends on the regional level of poverty and the ethnic composition of the poor. Data was drawn from the fourth round of the European Social Survey for 14 West European countries. The findings demonstrate that support for redistribution among the rich is lower when the proportion of ethnic minorities among the poor is high. Several possible mechanisms to account for this relationship are examined. The paper finds no support for explanations based on more animosity towards the poor or towards ethnic minorities, and no support for explanations based on lower social trust or social capital. Instead, the reason appears to be that rich people in regions with a higher proportion of ethnic minorities among the poor express significantly less fear of downward income mobility.
