Summary/Abstract: In this paper I argue that a social constructionist approach to stereotypes of violence and aggression against Roma could be a better instrument for improving the image of Roma if the notion of social construction is seen as a way of making suggestions on cultural and social changes meant to reduce negative stereotyping, rather than a way of proving the falsity of negative stereotypes or their inadequate epistemological or ontological status.
