Ethnicity, Crime, and Immigration: Comparative and Cross-National Perspectives

This volume is the first major cross-national examination of racial and ethnic differences in criminal offending, victimization by crime, and disparities and discrimination in justice systems. These nine essays provide comrehensive up-to-date summaries of research and experience concerning those subjects in Australia, Canada, England and Wales,
France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United
States. Population migration has reached an all time high in Europe and with it, "immigration and crime" has become the single most volatile and topical crime control issue in most of these countries.

The nine essays in this book are written by the leading specialists in each country. Contributors include Roderic Broadhurst, Julian V. Roberts and Anthony N. Doob, David J. Smith, Pierre Tournier, Hans-Jörg
Albrecht, Josine Junger-Tas, Peter L. Martens, Martin Killias, Robert J.
Sampson and Janet L. Lauritsen.
