It aims to contribute to the research tradition that investigates the understandings of institutional racism and the racialisation of minorities by police. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the article combines quantitative analysis from a survey conducted with police officers in three police districts in Finland and qualitative analysis of the responses to the open-ended survey questions. The article identifies three main orientations among the police: colour-blind universalism, inclusivity and anti-wokeness. While the police is divided between attitudes characterised by inclusivity and those of anti-wokeness, many officers adopt a colour-blind universalist orientation, supporting equality but lacking the ability or willingness to recognise structural racism. Despite these differences, police officers also commonly hold a set of views about minority communities, which we conceptualise as ‘racial undercurrents’. The article argues that while there is a struggle amongst police officers about (the implementation of) inclusivity and non-discrimination policies the shared racial undercurrents uphold the central parameters of the Finnish racial state. The findings also witness of efforts to address racism and develop non-discrimination work within police. The racial welfare state is characterised by two kinds of processes – those seeking to challenge existing racialising ideologies and structures and those reproducing (consciously or by following taken-for-granted notions and routines) the racial hierarchies of the society.

Drawing on routine activity theory, we examine how resident-to-visitor ratios influence crime rates after-work-hours. Using mobile phone tracking data and crime reports for aggravated assault, robbery, and motor vehicle theft, we apply multivariate clustering and negative binomial regression analyses. Findings show that increased after-hours visitor presence is significantly associated with higher crime rates for all offences, while greater resident presence correlates with reduced violent crime. Results highlight the need to consider population flows in crime prevention and urban planning strategies.

Most reports were of males committing offenses against females. Violence with and without injury were the most common offenses (61.0%). Demographic variables (age, sex, relationship) were associated with different offense types. Suspects 36 years old and older had higher odds of being associated with sex offenses. While younger victims had higher odds of sexual victimization and stalking and harassment, both suspects and victims 45 years old and younger were mostly associated with reports of violence with injury. Most suspects and victims were partners/ex-partners (70.3%), with a third of the reports being for violence with injury. Stalking/harassment was mostly reported against acquaintances, whereas relatives were more likely to be suspects of violence without injury. Research and practice implications for police and Criminal Justice System are discussed.
