“…Victims of HS involving emigrants were mainly aged 25–39, which is likely to be related to most emigrants being young and in less stable relationships. P of HS involving emigrants were also more likely to have a low educational and occupational level in Romania, which gives them access only to poorly paid and under-qualified jobs abroad (Abraham et al, 2008; Vasilcu and Séchet, 2011). Low economic prospects, combined with the necessity of many emigrants to leave their children and sometimes partners behind, might increase the relationship tensions that can trigger HS, because relationships are often limited to telephone contacts, packages and money sent, or holiday visits.…”

“…For example, in 2012, Romanian citizens represented the largest group of immigrants in the European Union who migrated back to their own country, as approximately 93 percent of total immigrants to Romania from the EU were Romanians (EUROSTAT, 2014). Many Romanian emigrants adopt this life strategy of ‘between here and there, between the foreign country where they were working and making sacrifices and Romania where they could find their place again and where they could enjoy the material benefits accumulated through emigration’ (Vasilcu and Séchet, 2011: 219). Whereas most Romanians initially emigrated to Israel, Turkey, Italy and Germany, their main destination countries in recent years have been Italy and Spain (Sandu, 2006).…”

Homicide-suicides are the term for homicides followed by the suicide of the offender. This study utilized police statistics, information from the penal files and an online search of news reports to establish the prevalence of homicide-suicides in Romania. We compare characteristics of homicidesuicides among current or former Romanian emigrants and Romanians who never emigrated. The estimated homicide-suicide rate was 0.005-0.146 per 100,000 inhabitants in Romania between 2002 and 2013. Intimate partners committed significantly more homicide-suicides among emigrants than non-emigrants. Emigrant homicide-suicides also had significantly more reports of prior abuse than non-emigrant homicide-suicides. The findings of this study call for improvements in intimate partner violence prevention in Romania and among Romanian migrant communities abroad.

“…The fall of the communist regime at the end of the year 1989 has had as a main consequence guaranteeing the right of free movement to Romanians, a situation which has led to a marked rise in emigration [12]. Open borders and progressive democratization equally resulted in the increase of both freedom and unemployment rate, parallel with the decrease in living standards, and diminishment of social protection.…”

“…Lured by the prospect of a better life, the number of Roma who have requested political asylum in the developed countries of the Central and Western Europe increased markedly in the early 90s. In the major cities of France such as Lyon, Nanterre, Toulouse, Roubaix, true "nuclei of Roma population" emerged [12]. Their presence on the streets, in subway stations and as inhabitants of abandoned buildings made the Roma community members highly visible in the public space.…”

“…Consequently, certain acts of delinquency have resulted in an excessive mobilization that fueled and amplified the fears of the local population [2]. After 2002, the onset of the free movement of Romanian citizens in the Schengen Area, a new migration strategy was employed, i.e., the 'false tourists', which was aimed to circumventing the controls imposed by the European migration policy [12]. In the view of the EU accession, the successive Romanian governments improved the laws concerning the rights of minorities.…”

Given the current policies of the Western European countries on the repatriation of Roma population and subsidies granting to those who return to the country of origin, increasingly more Romanian citizens of Roma ethnicity view migration as an economic opportunity. The present study has at its basis the research conducted on Roma immigrants of Romanian origin in the city of Rennes, France, between March and June 2015. The interview-based survey was conducted on a sample of 50 participants of Roma ethnicity, originating from different areas of Romania, and is aimed at analyzing the attitudes of Romanian Roma immigrants towards the local authorities: local administration, school, hospital, NGOs. The research results suggest a positive perception of Roma population directed towards certain local stakeholders, such as the NGOs, hospital and school, as well as certain reluctance towards the local administration. The problems faced by the Roma community members in Rennes are linked to the attitude of local stakeholders towards immigrants, the difficulties of insertion in the work environment and social exclusion issues. Despite the difficulties they face, the most interviewees expressed no desire of return to Romania, except for the situation in which they would be repatriated by the French State. Their migration project is based upon the intention of remaining in France for a number of years, or of migrating to another developed country in Western Europe. The situation of Roma immigrants is highly sensitive, both for France and for the other Western European countries. Since 2000, many NGOs have focused their work on helping these communities illegally settled in France. This study represents a first contribution to a larger research project, focused on the analysis of the Roma community in the city of Rennes in particular and of Roma minorities of Romanian nationality in France, and generally follows the causes that have contributed to increased migration, migration experience and routes within the Roma population.
