THE ETHNIC REPRESENTATION IN THE COLLECTIVE MENTALITY – ROMA ISSUES

摘要

The ethnic reputation has multiple consequences for the rule of law, security, stability and justice, and the arguments proposed under this article shall take into account some basic elements such as: the significance of labeling an ethnic group as being tilted towards "crime"; the complexity of the relationships that are established among marginalized groups; the legitimacy of the administrative measures and the reciprocity of the actions performed by each of the members of these groups. We will try to show that the labeling of various ethnic groups is not an independent phenomenon; it is related to several elements, factors and processes mutually influencing their developments, by their complexity, and generating multiple consequences in different areas of the private or public life of a community.
