Arizona's controversial new immigration bill is just the latest of
many steps in the new criminalization of immigrants. While many
cite the presumed criminality of illegal aliens as an excuse for
ever-harsher immigration policies, it has in fact been
well-established that immigrants commit less crime, and in
particular less violent crime, than the native-born and that their
presence in communities is not associated with higher crime rates.
Punishing Immigrants moves beyond debunking the presumed crime and
immigration linkage, broadening the focus to encompass issues
relevant to law and society, immigration and refugee policy, and
victimization, as well as crime. The original essays in this volume
uncover and identify the unanticipated and hidden consequences of
immigration policies and practices here and abroad at a time when
immigration to the U.S. is near an all-time high. Ultimately,
Punishing Immigrants illuminates the nuanced and layered realities
of immigrants' lives, describing the varying complexities
surrounding immigration, crime, law, and victimization. Podcast:
Susan Bibler Coutin, on the process and effects of deportation
