      abstract = {The original essays in this much-needed collection broadly  assess the contemporary patterns of crime as related to  immigration, race, and ethnicity. Immigration and Crime  covers both a variety of immigrant groups--mainly from  Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America--and a variety of  topics including: victimization, racial conflict, juvenile  delinquency, exposure to violence, homicide, drugs, gangs,  and border violence.The volume provides important insights  about past understandings of immigration and crime, many  based on theories that have proven to be untrue or racially  biased, as well as offering new scholarship on salient  topics. Overall, the contributors argue that fears of  immigrant crime are largely unfounded, as immigrants are  themselves often more likely to be the victims of  discrimination, stigmatization, and crime rather than the  perpetrators.Contributors: Avraham Astor, Carl L.
