racism in austria: victim or suspect?

In its latest Report amnesty international Austria discusses the question of structural racism in the Austrian police force and asks: “victim or suspect?” as it documents the frequent correlation of “race” and “police violence.” “Migrants or persons of an ethnic minority are far more easily suspected to have committed a crime than “white” Austrians,” concludes amnesty.

Migranten oder Angehörige ethnischer Minderheiten geraten viel leichter als weiße Österreicher unter Verdacht, Straftaten begangen zu haben. 

The police denies any pattern or other wrongdoing.
