Muslim immigrant background pupils in Europe and their perception of justice at school and in broader society
2010
Abstract
The study is based on social survey among more than 10 000 fourteen years old pupils in four European countries: England, France, Belgium and Italy. It compares Muslim immigrant background pupils (first and second generation) and mainstream background pupils in terms of their feelings of justice inside as well as outside school.
There are no huge differences between these two groups in any country under survey except of France (young Muslims in France report rather more negative feelings concerning justice). The survey results contradict common notions that there are widespread feelings of injustice, frustration and discrimination among young European Muslims.
