This study explores the role of immigration and racialization in creating the first Swedish victim support centre in the early 1980s. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of the archives of Victim Support Södertälje, the first lasting Swedish victim support centre, from 1983 to 1990. While many of the centre’s activities focused on crime prevention, it defined crime and victimization as the province of immigrant communities in Södertälje, and, notably, as outside—and aberrant from—the imagined racial community of Sweden. Thus, victim support centres were one of the mechanisms to continue to defend the ideals of the Swedish welfare state, but to do so in ways that prevented incursions within Swedish racial homogeneity from the outside.

犯罪受害者、移民和社会福利：在瑞典创造种族化的他者

本研究探讨了移民和种族化在 1980 年代初期创建第一个瑞典受害者支持中心中的作用。该研究基于对 1983 年至 1990 年瑞典第一个长期受害者支持中心 Victim Support Södertälje 档案的定性内容分析。虽然该中心的许多活动侧重于预防犯罪，但它将犯罪和受害定义为Södertälje 的移民社区，尤其是在想象中的瑞典种族社区之外——并且偏离了——。因此，受害者支持中心是继续捍卫瑞典福利国家理想的机制之一，但这样做的方式是防止从外部入侵瑞典种族同质性。
