This article compares and discusses various various aspects of racist violence in European countries. These include the different definitions and perceptions employed in various countries, and the implications of these for research, response and measures implemented to combat the violence; the victimised communities, discussions about perpetrators; and responses by authorities to racist violence. Research into the phenomenon of racist violence is relatively recent in most European countries. The need for European comparative analysis is stressed as local/national studies turn out to be restricted to those elements of the violence receiving most attention in mainstream political discourse. International comparison can broaden the issue and illuminate new and alternative ways of combatting racist violence
