Instead it is reported that public officials, police officers, coast guards, are among the most frequently reported alleged perpetrator groups throughout the years 2007-2010. Almost for half of the unofficially reported hate crimes perpetrators are allegedly public officers [1]. Additionally, according to EU MIDIS Roma Greek Roma top the table regarding ethnic profiling and police stops' experiences among other ethnic and targeted groups in all European countries [2]. In its 4th report on Greece ECRI and recommendation 84, ECRI recommended that the Greek authorities combat racist crimes more actively and draw inspiration from the provisions of its General Policy Recommendation No. 11 on combating racism and racial discrimination in policing to that end, including the ones addressing the issue of arrests and prosecutions Source:
