Addressing Diversity: How Immigration Shapes Criminal Justice and Welfare Policies

Objective

DiverseJust takes a novel approach to studying Denmark’s contentious policy debate on welfare and the criminal justice
system in times of increased immigration and cultural diversity. Most current research focuses on either welfare or the
criminal justice system, as theoretically separate entities. However, following Loic Wacquant’s work, this project examines policy changes in welfare and the criminal justice system, examining them as a compound of intimately connected policies
that evolve in tandem in response to increased diversity in welfare states. I argue that to fully understand the evolution of
welfare and criminal justice systems, we need to consider race and ethnicity as central variables that shape state response
to deviance and poverty. Using expert interviews, the research project will explore (a) the impact that increased diversity has on the Danish welfare system, especially for immigrants; and (b) the impact that increased diversity has on the Danish criminal justice system. Ultimately, this study asks (c) how Denmark, a classic Scandinavian welfare state, may change in response to the challenges of increased cultural diversity.
