Key findings
In 2017, the Austrian security authorities registered 1,063 right-wing extremist, xenophobic/racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic and unspecific or other criminal acts. 58.1 percent, were successfully solved. The report found that despite a decrease in the number of asylum seekers, there is no foreseeable end to the right-wing extremist agitations towards asylum seekers based on hostility and xenophobic/ racist agitations in general. Islamophobia, hostility towards asylum seekers and xenophobia are currently the main topics characterising the phenomenon of right-wing extremism.
