“…The literature on the effects of victimisation posits that victims of hate crime may move, alter their daily routine and avoid symbolic dress as a result of their victimisation experience(s) (Barnes and Ephross, 1994; Dreher, 2006; Poynting, 2002; Poynting and Noble, 2004). Perhaps most significantly, victims are likely to avoid certain areas in the community by restricting their movements to their immediate neighbourhood for fear of further harassment or victimisation.…”

Studies have demonstrated that hate crime victimisation has harmful effects for individuals. Victims of hate crime report anger, nervousness, feeling unsafe, poor concentration and loss of selfconfidence. While victims of non-hate crimes report similar feelings, harm is intensified for hate crime victims due to the targeted nature of the incident. While there is some evidence that experiencing or even witnessing hate crime may have a detrimental effect on residents' community life, the effects of being victim of a hate crime inside one's own neighbourhood remain unstudied. Using census data combined with survey data from 4396 residents living across 148 neighbourhoods in Brisbane, Australia, this study examines whether residents who report hate crime within their own neighbourhood differ in their participation in community life when compared to victims of non-hate crime or those who have not been victimised. This is the first study to focus on victims' views on: how welcoming their neighbourhood is to ethnic diversity; their attachment to their neighbourhood; their frequency of social interactions with neighbours; their number of friends and acquaintances in the neighbourhood; and their fear of crime. Results from propensity score matching (PSM) indicate that there are important differences in patterns of neighbourhood participation across these three groups.

“…The debate between migration and social responsibility is best captured by the Dreher (2006b) argues that such regimes of inclusion encompasses the idea of responsibility between communities and government towards migrants. In the light of the increasing numbers of migrants within the Johannesburg inner city, scholars like Landau and Seggati (2011), in Contemporary Migration to South Africa -A Regional Development Issue, explored the developmental potential of migration for promoting integration/ social cohesion, enhancing tolerance and addressing xenophobia.…”

This article starts with a review of the trends in religion and migration in South Africa, before thematically discussing recent developments in the field of religion and migration studies. The article argues that migration of people has untapped resources for development and social transformation. We also argue that engagements with migration serves as a barometer for social cohesion and social responsibility in South Africa. Through an interdisciplinary review of the developments in the field, we suggest that despite an increase in interests in human mobility, policy makers, researchers and civil society activists have not taken migration flows within the South African context seriously. We conclude that although there has been significant civic and academic interest in understanding xenophobia as a symptom of a fractured civil society, most scholars have ignored the role of religion harnessing socially responsible cultures of reception and hospitality. In this regard, we hold that religion emerges as a necessary ingredient in shaping social responsibility that is characterised by cultures of receptions and hospitality towards migrants in South Africa.

“…One reason for this argument is the sustained retreat from both the language and programs of antiracism to a focus on dialogue and Australian values in the previous federal government's multicultural policy (see Dreher 2006, Babacan 2006). The result has been the rise of 'living in harmony' and interfaith dialogue as the most prevalent community relations strategies , Dreher 2006. Programs of dialogue and interaction are important in addressing individual prejudices, but are not sufficient to address networks of power and privilege or institutionalized racisms (Ho and Dreher 2006, Babacan 2006, Ley 2007.…”

Pilot research on community conflict resolution, conducted in a local government area in southern Sydney in late 2006, revealed paradoxical findings: The simultaneous presence of both high levels of cross-cultural mixing and appreciation of the area's culturally diverse population; and the prevalence of prejudice against Arab and Muslim residents and visitors to the area. Many respondents who supported cultural diversity, saw Arab and Muslim Australians as an exception and even a threat to harmonious community relations. Particularly striking was the anxiety and anger caused by their apparent large numbers, seen to be taking over certain public recreational spaces. This article explores the contradictions in these findings in light of other contemporary Australian research and identifies complex and difficult issues to be addressed by research and by local government. In particular, the paper discusses the need to address the interconnections between both everyday multiculturalisms and everyday racisms, to distinguish between 'victim' claims amongst diverse communities, and to ground research and policies on 'place-sharing' in Indigenous sovereignties.
