Nils Christie famously drew up criteria needed to be fulfilled in order to be recognized as an ideal victim. Concerning victims from a minority population, I will argue, additional criteria are needed in order to achieve recognition as an ideal victim. This study will point to these criteria by scrutinizing the ways in which victims from Roma communities are framed by the Swedish criminal justice system. Based on a narrative analysis of court documents, and by drawing on postcolonial theory, the findings in this article indicate that a minority victim must be understood culturally as one of ‘us’ – being ‘culture-free’ – in order to fit into the framework of an ideal victim. As such, this is an attempt to develop tools than can help us grasp the understanding of, and approaches to, minority victims in the criminal justice system, by adding a postcolonial theoretical perspective to the classic work of Christie.

尼尔斯·克里斯蒂（Nils Christie）著名地制定了必须达到的标准，才能被公认为理想的受害者。我认为，关于少数族裔的受害者，还需要其他标准才能获得公认的理想受害者。这项研究将通过审查瑞典刑事司法系统对来自罗姆人社区的受害者的构架方式来指出这些标准。基于对法院文件的叙事分析，并借鉴后殖民理论，本文的发现表明，少数族裔受害者必须在文化上被理解为“我们”（不受文化影响）之一，以使其适应法律的要求。理想受害者的框架。因此，这是一种开发工具的尝试，无法帮助我们掌握对刑事司法系统中少数群体受害者的理解和方法，
