“…In the 1970s, multicultural goals were introduced. This kind of policy recognizes ethnic and cultural identities and communities, and actively facilitates them through different measures (Borevi 2014;Dahlström 2004;Kaczmarczyk et al 2015). The introduction of multicultural goals did not mean that the universal policy model was rejected, rather the welfare state universalism was combined with the promotion of cultural diversity (Borevi 2014).…”

“…The introduction of multicultural goals did not mean that the universal policy model was rejected, rather the welfare state universalism was combined with the promotion of cultural diversity (Borevi 2014). From the mid-1970s, equality has been the overriding policy objective in Sweden, and Kaczmarczyk et al (2015) write that Sweden was a pioneering state in Europe in adopting a Bmulticultural policy^as early as the middle of the 1970s. Many European states followed and approached towards acceptance of cultural and ethnic diversity (Kaczmarczyk et al 2015;Westerveen and Adam 2018).…”

The selective policy model in the 1980s is a period of critique towards the multicultural model (Dahlström 2004)-yet not the universal policy model that still made the base for the integration policy.…”

“…It does not seem to be obvious what integration really implies, and whom it includes, and integration has been described as a chaotic and contested concept (see Ager and Strang 2008), while traditions, concepts of community, citizenship, nationhood, etc. have developed different Bphilosophies of integration^in different countries (Kaczmarczyk et al 2015). Even though definitions of integration can be found in policies at the international, national, and local levels, clear criteria for operationalization or measurement for what an integrated society looks like is missing (e.g., Favell 2014;Grip 2010).…”

This article contributes to theoretical discussions on how immigrant integration is produced as a part of redefining national policy to local everyday practice, and what this tells us about the society in which the policy is formed. Integration is from this perspective a way to understand imagined social communities, how they are produced, who is considered to belong, and who is not. Document analysis and interviews with immigrants, local politicians, and officials in small-and medium-sized Swedish towns give insights into both what taken-for-granted assumptions the integration policy builds on and reproduces, and what consequences the integration policy have for the persons the policy is intended for. It is shown that the Swedish integration policy is itself a part of the production of a Swedish space as a container with closed doors, where immigrants are not given equal access and possibilities. This is created by putting sameness and difference at the core of the integration policy and by describing integration as an act of entering the Swedish space.

“…More recently migration trends have changed (Kaczmarczyk et al . ) and since 2004, the shape of intra‐EU migration patterns has generally been from East to West (Favell ). The countries receiving the largest numbers of intra‐EU immigrants have been Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK (Eurostat ).…”

The expansion of the EU has generated vast interest and debate about an alleged crime-migration nexus. The gradual disappearance of borders within the EU has created opportunities for easier people movement, and potentially for offenders to commit criminal offences in other countries. The authors have found that little work has been undertaken to understand the general nature of criminal activity by intra-EU migrant populations. Data on localised offending by foreign nationals can be used to inform intelligence by national and international police agencies, to generate effective cross-border information exchange, aid investigatory techniques and significantly inform crime reduction activity and policies. However, where such information is not collected and available for analysis within member states, informed knowledge within and between member states is difficult to achieve. In order to begin to address these discrepancies, the authors suggest a multi-disciplinary and mixed methods approach that seeks understanding at the EU level.
