His current research focuses on state responses to racial, ethnic and religious violence. In recently published work, he examined British, German and French policies toward racist violence, the construction and politicization of German's hate-crime statistics, European Union policies against racism, and the commonalities among British, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish responses to the rising associations between violence and Islam.
