Over the last two decades in the West, there has been a significant
increase in the arrest, imprisonment and detention of migrants. The
racial criminalization and victimization of migrants and Roma
people has led judicial authorities, local governments, the police,
mass media and the general population to perceive migrants and
'gypsies' as responsible for a wide range of offences. Taking into
consideration the political and cultural conditions that affect and
interconnect societies of emigration and immigration, the
contributors examine and compare a range of cases in Europe and the
United States. The contributions demonstrate how the persecution of
the 'current enemy' is the 'total political fact' of the 21st
century in that it ensures consensus and business, or what might be
termed the 'crime deal' of today. This provocative book has
international appeal and will be a valuable resource for academics,
researchers and policymakers with an interest in migration and
social and ethnic control.
