This is a detailed study of the extent to which an increased
influx of foreign workers is a threat to law and order in the
context of the data-generating process of police statistics and the
media coverage of "crimes" committed by foreigners. It shows that a
general mood in which foreign workers are viewed as potential
danger to Japanese society "protects" the criminalization of
foreign "illegal" migrant workers.
The work begins by tracing the upsurge of "illegal" foreign
workers in Japan. It builds a social profile of these "illegals"
showing that because of fear of expulsion, lack of knowledge of the
law and over-dependence on employer and workplace, their ability to
avail themselves off the protection of the law is neglible, and
they are always at risk of becoming victims to multiple
exploitation.
