Indicator history

As also reported by media, there are different cases of racist violence and hate crimes perpetrated by public servants. For example there are cases of teacher involved in such situations: in Turin a teacher wrote in a site that he wanted to carry out a massacre in the synagogue of the city. Also the italian police is involved in such cases. "The percentage of negative evaluations of police treatment during checks by migrants living in Italy is the highest among all migrant communities in all the EU countries. Fuelled by a violent and xenophobic political discourse, identity checks are often carried out with methods that are against the law and violate persons human rights, especially in northern regions with elected representatives of the anti- immigrant party, the Northern League. (Enar Shadow report 2009-2010, p.21). Moreover "in 2009, the association of South Asian immigrants Dhuumcatu denounced the lack of intervention by the police in an incident involving an undocumented Italians. The police (Carabinieri), went to the spot where the incident was taking place, but after some questioning, did not intervene, leaving the man to be assaulted. The absurd explanations given by the law enforcement authorities was that the Bangladeshi admitted that he was an undocumented migrant, which warranted them not interfering in the attack.(Enar Shadow report 2009-2010, p.22).
