Indicator history

Concerning racist violence, some Federal States (e.g. Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt) provide official statistics on extremist right-wing crimes in and around schools. These data are based on police statistics on politically motivated right-wing crimes. In 2003, Berlin implemented a special reporting scheme on violent incidents at schools. The statistics by the Berlin reporting system record a relatively low number of ‘extremist’ incidents in the term 2008/2009. A general trend cannot be identified. (Peucker 2010, 18)
On regional and local level, anti-discrimination offices record complaints of discrimination in the field of education. For instance, the Munich based anti-discrimination agency AMIGRA reported that 13.8 per cent of 238 persons who approached AMIGRA for different reasons between 2007 and 2009 felt discriminated in the area of education (AMIGRA 2009, 22).
