Crime and Justice, Volume 21 cover

This volume is a 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 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 specialists in each country. Contributors include Roderic Broadhurst, Julian V. Roberts and Anthony N. Doob, David J. Smith, Pierre Tournier, Hans-Jorg Albrecht, Josine Junger-Tas, Peter L. Martens, Martin Killias, Robert J. Sampson and Janet L. Lauritsen.
