“…However, Junger TasÕ 1990 study of delinquency in Moroccan, Turkish, Surinamese, and Dutch youths indicates that the ethnic (non-Dutch) groups have a higher involvement in crime than the native (Dutch) youth. Smith (1997) states that it is likely that ethnic minorities (not necessarily immigrants, but descendents of immigrants from BritainÕs colonial past) do have higher offending rates (rather than simply arrest rates) than non-minorities.…”

“…Even taking into consideration institutional factors, such as lack of fixed residence, as a factor in disparate sentencing and/or treatment, she acknowledges the possible effect to stereotyping. Smith (1997) also addresses the possible effects of bias in the criminal justice system, which contributes to disparate treatment for Black and Afro-Caribbean residents of Great Britain. However, states that existing research has failed to support discrimination by the police or the criminal justice system in Germany.…”

Intergroup contact and conflict is inevitable in the context of global economic competition and geopolitical interests. Immigrant and migratory groups have particularly been subjected to unequal treatment by members of dominant host groups, generally as a means of promoting and protecting their own economic and political interests. Immigrants often serve as a dependent and secondary labor force, useful within fluctuating cycles of labor shortage, economic crises, and economic prosperity. Likewise, criminalization is one tool that perpetuates notions of ''otherness,'' which in turn maintains immigrant minorities as a secondary labor force; and justifies penal punishment of them. For instance, in the United States, Chicanos and Mexican immigrants have been exploited as secondary labor, and have also been more likely than many other groups to be swept up in the Criminal Justice System. Drawing on neoMarxist perspectives and postcolonial notions of ''otherness'', this paper examines the relationship between incarceration of foreigners and economic conditions, economic threat, population change, and otherness. As hypothesized, country level data suggests that factors such as a free market economy, population change, economic competition, and a concentration of immigrants in the population are related to the level of imprisonment of foreigners. Implications for further research are also discussed.

“…Using the sociological perspective that an indigenous ethnic minority is a social construction allows us to analyse how race and ethnicity and police reactions to such identities are articulated within the police force, an analysis taking us into a territory long neglected by criminologists (Holdaway, 2003;Smith, 1997). Here I describe and analyse socio-political processes leading to differential outcomes of policing violence against women.…”

Racism, militarisation and policing: police reactions to violence against Palestinian women in Israel

This article moves beyond the discussion of police racism to a broader account of the militaristic racism of policing in Israel. The highly permeable boundaries between the military, society and the political conflict all affect how violence against women is policed. Focusing on case studies of police officers' perceptions of abused Palestinian Israeli women -members of an ethnic and indigenous minority -this paper considers key features of the policing of violence against women in a militaristic context and during a continuous political conflict. Police officers' philosophies and actions in law enforcement concerning violence against women are critically scrutinised. The findings indicate that while some aspects of cultural difference between the indigenous ethnic group and the majority are relevant to policing, focusing predominantly on the 'cultural characteristics' or 'ethnic traditions or rituals' of the policed population and denying the effect of the political conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as a factor in the militarisation of policing can reinforce rather than ameliorate ethnic prejudice, racism and discrimination.
