Immigration, Crime, and the Administration of Justice: Contemporary
Readings provides students with a concise, scholarly overview of
contemporary immigration issues related to policy, policing, and
corrections. The carefully selected readings in this volume provide
students with insight into the lived experiences of immigrants in
America. The anthology is divided into three distinct units that
address issues surrounding how immigration is viewed through the
lens of criminal justice statistics, policy, and crime. Unit 1
consists of three empirical studies that explore the perceptions
and realities of the relationship between crime and immigration. In
Unit 2, readings outline both macro- and micro-level immigration
policies and how they intersect with criminal justice. The final
section addresses the future of immigration and crime, including
readings that explore immigration and civil rights, the politics of
belonging, and the future of U.S. immigration policy. Introductions
and post-reading questions encourage critical thought and greater
engagement with the material. Immigration, Crime, and the
Administration of Justice is an ideal supplementary resource for
undergraduate and graduate-level courses in criminal justice and
administration of justice with focus on immigration.
Juvenile Justice and Schools: Policing, Processing, and Programming
examines the complex relationship between educational institutions
and the juvenile justice system. Readers learn about factors that
contribute to juvenile delinquency, how schools can prevent and
manage juvenile delinquency, and how individuals can leverage
resources other than police or justice systems in response to
behavioral concerns. Each chapter examines a specific topic and
demonstrates how the topic intersects with school systems and
juvenile justice systems. Dedicated chapters explore poverty and
its impact on school readiness; the school-to-prison pipeline;
racial and gender disproportionality in school discipline
practices; and police presence in schools. Students learn about the
juvenile justice system, peer mediation as a means to reduce
conflicts, strategies for reducing school violence, anti-bullying
programs, and more. Juvenile Justice and Schools is an ideal
resource for undergraduate and graduate level courses in sociology,
criminology, and criminal justice. It can also be used in minor
programs in peace studies, education, and juvenile delinquency.
