Punishing Immigrants - Policy, Politics, and Injustice (Hardcover, New): Charis E. Kubrin, Marjorie S. Zatz, Ramiro Martinez Punishing Immigrants - Policy, Politics, and Injustice (Hardcover, New)
Charis E. Kubrin, Marjorie S. Zatz, Ramiro Martinez
R2,751 Discovery Miles 27 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Arizona's controversial new immigration bill is just the latest of many steps in the new criminalization of immigrants. While many cite the presumed criminality of illegal aliens as an excuse for ever-harsher immigration policies, it has in fact been well-established that immigrants commit less crime, and in particular less violent crime, than the native-born and that their presence in communities is not associated with higher crime rates. Punishing Immigrants moves beyond debunking the presumed crime and immigration linkage, broadening the focus to encompass issues relevant to law and society, immigration and refugee policy, and victimization, as well as crime. The original essays in this volume uncover and identify the unanticipated and hidden consequences of immigration policies and practices here and abroad at a time when immigration to the U.S. is near an all-time high. Ultimately, Punishing Immigrants illuminates the nuanced and layered realities of immigrants' lives, describing the varying complexities surrounding immigration, crime, law, and victimization.

Dreams and Nightmares - Immigration Policy, Youth, and Families (Paperback): Marjorie S. Zatz, Nancy Rodriguez Dreams and Nightmares - Immigration Policy, Youth, and Families (Paperback)
Marjorie S. Zatz, Nancy Rodriguez
R1,285 Discovery Miles 12 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dreams and Nightmares takes a critical look at the challenges and dilemmas of immigration policy and practice in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform. The experiences of children and youth provide a prism through which the interwoven dynamics and consequences of immigration policy become apparent. Using a unique sociolegal perspective, authors Zatz and Rodriguez examine the mechanisms by which immigration policies and practices mitigate or exacerbate harm to vulnerable youth. They pay particular attention to prosecutorial discretion, assessing its potential and limitations for resolving issues involving parental detention and deportation, unaccompanied minors, and Dreamers who came to the United States as young children. The book demonstrates how these policies and practices offer a means of prioritizing immigration enforcement in ways that alleviate harm to children, and why they remain controversial and vulnerable to political challenges.

Zatz and Doris Marie Provine-both professors of Justice & Social Inquiry at Arizona State University-and Arizona attorney James P. Walsh, who was also a law partner to John Frank.

Making Law - The State, the Law, and Structural Contradictions (Paperback): William J Chambliss, Marjorie S. Zatz Making Law - The State, the Law, and Structural Contradictions (Paperback)

..". a distinct, broad, but compelling framework for examining a variety of laws and social policies." Legal Studies Forum

..". a very rich volume that has something to offer to many different tastes... an excellent companion to the main textbook in a large undergraduate law-and-society course." Contemporary Sociology

No issue has captured the imagination of social scientists and legal scholars more consistently than the creation of laws. The political implications of the study of law and society often create ideological diatribes with little attention to empirical detail. In this book, legal scholars, sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists join in an attempt to develop and refine a structural theory of law."
