Social tensions between majority and minority populations often
center on claims that minorities are largely responsible for crime
and disorder. Members of some disadvantaged groups in all developed
countries, sometimes long-standing residents and other times recent
immigrants, experience unwarranted disparities in their dealings
with the criminal justice system. Accusations of unfair treatment
by police and courts are common. The Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity,
Crime, and Immigration provides comprehensive analyses of current
knowledge about these and a host of related subjects. Topics
include legal and illegal immigration, ethnic and race relations,
and discrimination and exclusion, and their links to crime in the
United States and elsewhere. Leading scholars from sociology,
criminology, law, psychology, geography, and political science
document and explore relations among race, ethnicity, immigration,
and crime. Individual chapters provide in-depth critical overviews
of key issues, controversies, and research. Contributors present
the historical backdrops of their subjects, describe population
characteristics, and summarize relevant data and research findings.
Most articles provide synopses of racial, ethnic, immigration, and
justice-related concerns and offer policy recommendations and
proposals for future research. Some articles are case studies of
particular problems in particular places, including juvenile
incarceration, homicide, urban violence, social exclusion, and
other issues disproportionately affecting disadvantaged minority
groups. The Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity, Crime, and Immigration is
the first major effort to examine and synthesize knowledge
concerning immigration and crime, ethnicity and crime, and race and
crime in one volume, and does so both for the United States and for
many other countries.
