The media churns out attacks on Roma, equalizing Roma with crime
The stories cite police sources
The timing is surprisingly coincidal with the discussions on longterm Roma strategy
The reported crimes is petty economic
If anything it is driven by powerty and
not by the greedy motives behind large "Danish" crimes
and the international drugs and traficking
Without knowledge and insight into police and intelligence operations
it is difficult to guage why police and media are so reluctant to
target the really dangerous organized crime
but an indication from the utilisation by TAX officers of body guards
in court, the unit that also confiscate the weak and unarmed Polish
EU citizen's polish registrered cars indicate
that police and SKAT are really affraid of these groups
and therefore prefer to chalk up big statistics on soft targets
The part conclusion is that Roma figure as an important element
of the police and political media strategy in Denmark and that
this role blocks for the development of a national Roma strategy
Other media reports document that the problems of the "normal"
everyday "integrated" and non-criminal Roma, the vast majority
of the Roma in Denmark, 15-20.000 according to CIA world factbook,
remain unresolved
It is about occupational medicine, job content development etc
Other reports on bi-lingual school performance indicates
development of a huge new underclass, and politicians appear to
deliberately set aside research showing what needs to be done,
as the research is already available but politicians argue they
are more clever than the researchers
There is therefore a need for a longterm national Roma strategy
that can adress these issues and influence the priorities to ensure
better use of the public resources
