Author
Abstract
The transition towards superdiversity and majority-minority-cities. The necessary interculturalisation of police and justice Antwerp (Belgium) has become a majority-minority-city in 2019, just as Brussels and Genk in Belgium, or Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Hague in the Netherlands. In these cities the majority of the citizens have a migration background. This demographic transition is part of the larger transition towards superdiversity as an urban condition in the 21st century. What are the challenges of the transition towards superdiversity and majority-minority-cities for police and justice? The article first analyses the concepts of superdiversity and majority-minority-cities, thereby analyzing Antwerp as a case. The article explores critically the usefulness and risks of the concept of majority-minority cities. Taking this transition as a starting point, the article then explores the challenges for the criminal justice system in Belgium and the urgent need for interculturalisation.
