This study utilizes the perceptions of criminal investigators of
the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to describe the
normative structure of an organization in its social context. The
legacy INS attempted to provide both a service and control
function. This dual mandate made it difficult for INS investigators
to fulfill their mission of interior enforcement of the immigration
laws. Other problems included organizational relations, as well as
notions about professionalism, which affected recruitment,
retention, training, and worker expectations. On March 1, 2003, the
INS separated its dual mandate and moved to the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) with the intent of solving some of these
problems. As a result, one might assume that the fundamental
contradiction imposed by the dual-mandate structure would be
resolved. The updated material in this edition discusses that
prospect and includes statistical analyses of a sample of
apprehended aliens, as well as the Survey of Inmates from the
Bureau of Justice Statistics for information on foreign-born
criminals. The data file on apprehended aliens is available for
download for purchasers of the book. Current interior enforcement
strategies are discussed in an interview with the Special Agent in
Charge of the New York DHS office.
