We present optical spectropolarimetry along with optical and infrared broad-band filter polarimetry of selected warm [f(25 ⎼m)/f(60 ⎼m) ≥ 0.3] IRAS galaxies and other known Seyfert 2 galaxies.Broad lines in polarized flux have been detected in a number of type 2 IRAS galaxies. From a determination of the intrinsic polarization of the scattered radiation it has been possible to model the optical an...
