How will the increasing flow of immigrants affect security in society and the performance of government agencies? What should be done to facilitate immigrants’ integration into Finnish society? A recent report by the Police University College is seeking to answer some of these questions.
The report “Immigration and security – an assessment of the current situation and a look to the future” discusses the key immigration-related security considerations and future challenges such as the integration and employment of immigrants. According to researchers, many weak signals and trends have gained strength during 2015. At the same time, new previously unknown challenges have arisen, such as unrest at the reception centres and hate crimes against these facilities.
The report, prepared as part of the implementation of the Government Plan for Analysis, Assessment and Research for 2015, was carried out during 2015 in collaboration with Statistics Finland and the National Institute for Health and Welfare.The report is available at the Government's website (in Finnish).
