Wolff (2013) speaks about the Rroma register, which has been operated by the Swedish police for eight years and caused quite a sensation. The register systematically recorded Rroma established in Sweden, regardless of age, gender, or other parameters. The focus, therefore, was not, according to Wolff, the registration of delinquent Rroma, but the categorisation of all Rroma in Sweden, which were thereby put under general suspicion. A member of the Swedish Police Corps reported this illicit register to the police anonymously and so caused it to be known.
