Описание: The connection between immigration and crime is one of the most contentious topics in contemporary society. These deliberations are not new, as considerations on the issue date back over 100 years. Immigration is frequently mentioned as one of the most important issues facing politicians in advanced economies. Often this appears to be related to the commonly expressed concern that immigrants harm the labour market prospects of natives. This concern has received substantial, and sometimes controversial, attention in the academic labour economics literature. However, it also reflects a wider concern over the impact of large immigration flows on other aspects of society. Preventing the admission of criminals has long been a concern to the public and policy makers. Even in the colonial period, there were laws against the arrival of criminals. A significant share of the public seems to believe that immigrants commit a disproportionate share of crime. High-profile and sometimes tragic crimes committed by illegal aliens have prompted state and local official stop ledge action to rid the community of criminal aliens. This book examines and critically appraises the evidence on the possible links between immigration and crime across abroad range of methodologies, time periods and countries. Although a host of reasons exists to expect that immigrants are high crime prone, the bulk of empirical studies conducted over the past century have found that immigrants are typically under-represented in criminal statistics. There are some partial exceptions to this finding, but these appear to be linked more to differences in structural conditions across urban areas where immigrants settle rather than to the cultural tradition soft he immigrant groups. This book will be of valuable for students, scholars, and academics with an interest in the topic, the book will appeal to individuals in a range of disciplines, from criminology and sociology to politics, international relations, ethnic studies, geography, social policy and development.

Описание: This book provides an important overview of key criminology and criminal justice concerns in Japan. It highlights similarities between the practice of criminology research in Japan, as well as important differences, with other areas of Asia and with the West. In previous decades, Japan attracted international attention as the only industrialized country where the crime rate declined along with a rise in urbanization and economic development. Currently, Japan still enjoys a declining crime rate (the lowest among major industrialized countries) and a study of criminal justice practices in Japan may provide important insights for other regions. Japan also experiences important contemporary challenges which are shared by other regions: 1. Japan has the highest proportion of people over the age of 60 in the world. For criminology, this means key challenges in the victimization of older people, as well as the challenges of an aging prison population. 2. Besides the United States, Japan is the only developed country that still practices capital punishment, and its rate has been on the rise in the past 20 years. 3. Japan has also introduced new reforms in its law practice, including the introduction of new trial formats. The research in this book provides a helpful overview for scholars interested in criminology and criminal justice in Japan to understand the key issues of concern, and present a framework for future research needs. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, international studies, Asian Studies, sociology, and political science.

Описание: Contemporary Issues in Law Enforcement provides students with a highly contemporary collection of readings that articulate the complexity of modern policing. The anthology provides readers with articles that have been published since the turn of the twenty-first century and that demonstrate the richness of contemporary policing research. Employing a thoroughly academic approach, the book encourages students to consider the impact of the twentieth century on modern law enforcement, police and youth, the role police play in a democratic society, the intersection of police, politics, and minority populations, and the future of the administration of justice. Students read articles that discuss police professionalism, youth perceptions of police, questions of legitimacy and models for building legitimacy, and how law enforcement must contend with a society that harbors deeply divided opinions on the police. Each article is complemented by a brief introduction and discussion questions to add context and spark meaningful conversation. Designed to push the conversation forward on a critical and timely topic, Contemporary Issues in Law Enforcement is an excellent resource for courses and programs in criminology and criminal justice.
