Norway’s policy shifted blame from individuals to immigrant culture

Evidence

Its instructional tone notwithstanding, the 1995 plan retains an ambivalence about where to locate blame: all immigrant communities and parents or simply the few individuals who do not know the law and Norwegian values? Seven years later, this ambivalence has disappeared, and there is a hardening of the lines in law. By 2002 the culprit is more confidently identified as culture — the culture of immigrants, and indirectly, because they are the majority group, the culture of Muslim immigrants. — Sherene Razack, Casting Out, 310
