Commentary: Right-Wing Extremism and Bias Crime in Germany

摘要

Over the past several years, the number of right-wing extremist groups and violence has been increasing, especially since the reunification of Germany in 1990. Most of their members belong to a youth culture centered on racism, neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia.

It also examines the response by the German government to prevent and control these groups.
