The scientific staff of the Expert Council on Integration and Migration (SVR) has now for the first time examined the link between perceived phenotypic difference and police stops in Germany based on data drawn from a national representative survey. The findings show that respondents who are perceived as foreign are stopped by the police around twice as frequently as those who are not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Berlin, 15 November 2023. <\/strong>\u201cOur data show that there is an imbalance when it comes to police stops in public spaces. People with a migration background are stopped more frequently than people without a migration background. A more detailed analysis of data taken from the SVR Integration Barometer shows that the deciding factor is not a person\u2019s migration background but their phenotypic difference, that is mainly visible physical features such as a dark complexion or headscarf,\u201d says Maximilian M\u00fcller, one of the policy brief\u2019s authors. Survey respondents who stated that they are perceived as foreign reported that they were stopped by the police around twice as frequently (8.3%) than respondents who report that, in their view, they conform to the prevailing white norm \u2013 only 4.4 per cent of whom reported having been stopped by the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe findings also point to intersectional effects that are at play in this context. The probability of someone being stopped by the police not only varies by phenotypic difference but also by other characteristics such as gender and age,\u201d adds Maximilian M\u00fcller. Regardless of their appearance, men are stopped more often than women. Men aged between 15 and 34 who are perceived as foreign report being stopped most frequently. They are stopped significantly more frequently than their peers without the relevant characteristics (18.4% vs. 11.9%). \u201cWhat is striking is the different composition of the two groups in terms of gender and age. In other words, those who are phenotypically different are, to a certain extent, stopped more frequently by the police simply because there are more young men in that group. But even taking this and other sociodemographic differences in the groups\u2019 composition into account, there is still a significant difference in terms of the probability of being stopped by the police. These findings thus indicate that racial profiling exists in Germany,\u201d says Maximilian M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not possible to examine racial profiling in Germany on the basis of administrative data, because the key characteristics are not recorded in the relevant statistics. Representative surveys such as the SVR Integration Barometer are thus an important basis on which to examine this phenomenon says Alex Wittlif, co-author of the SVR policy brief on racial profiling in Germany: \u201cFor the first time we\u2019ve been able to empirically analyse, on a representative data basis, differences in the frequency of police stops of phenotypically different people. It\u2019s important to bear in mind, though, that the higher incidence of police stops is not necessarily only down to racial profiling. There are many factors that may play a role here \u2013 and we were not able to incorporate all of them into our study design. For instance, we cannot \u2018factor out\u2019 one particular effect that is due to differences in residence distribution. Crime hotspots, around which more police stops tend to be carried out, are often in socially disadvantaged urban districts that have a large share of first- and subsequent-generation migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is, however, that police stops based on physical appearance and not on a person\u2019s conduct constitute inadmissible unequal treatment and thus violate the prohibition of discrimination enshrined in Germany\u2019s constitution, the Basic Law. \u201cThat is why it is so important to get the facts straight. The consequences of racial profiling can be huge \u2013 both for those affected and in terms of the legitimacy and acceptance of police action. That is why the planned introduction of a \u2018receipt\u2019 that is to be issued to a person after they have been stopped by the police, which is part of a reform of the Federal Police Act, is to be welcomed,\u201d says Dr Jan Schneider, Head of the SVR Research Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system is already in operation in the UK and in New York and could soon be launched in Germany. Random police stops would then have to be systematically recorded, creating more awareness on all sides. \u201cTo ensure that the data can be used in future research, the issuing of such \u2018receipts\u2019 should be mandatory. At the very least, those stopped should be informed about the possibility of being issued with such a receipt. Also, the category \u2018ethnicity\u2019 needs to be included in the record \u2013 for instance on the basis of self-identification by the person who has been stopped,\u201d says Dr Schneider. \u201cRacial profiling is not just something that happens in the Federal Police, though, and the federal states should also look into introducing these receipts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 15,005 people with and without a migration background were surveyed in the period between late November 2021 and early July 2022 for the SVR\u2019s 2022 Integration Barometer. Of those surveyed, 15.7 per cent stated that they are perceived as phenotypically different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary of this policy brief is available to download <strong><a
