“…As of 2017, non-US citizens made up 7.6% of prisoners under federal and state correctional supervision (Bronson & Carson, 2019). Even with the bulk of research refuting a positive link between immigration and crime, it remains that much of the public discourse identifies immigrants as a risk to the general public (Cervantes & Menjívar, 2018; Newman et al, 2012; Wright & Rodriguez, 2014). While Americans tend to assess immigration positively (Waters & Pineau, 2015), public fears of immigrants as it relates to economic, cultural, and criminal threats linger (Chalfin, 2014; Kulig et al, 2020; Newman, 2015).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine differences in patterns of criminal arrests between US citizens and foreign citizens among a sample of individuals incarcerated for homicide in Texas. Data for this project come from administrative records of inmates incarcerated in Texas for homicide. Drawing from the criminal careers literature, official arrest records are assessed to compare differences in criminal histories with growth curve models for the examination of criminal careers of non-Texas born US citizens and foreign citizens. Notable findings are that the age-crime curves are remarkably similar between the two groups, but the curves differ in degree, with those of US citizens peaking significantly higher across all crime types examined.

Using Hungary as a case study and focusing on legislative policies and the practical application of hate crime legislation, this article shows the various ways legal policy can become misguided in the labyrinth of identity politics, minority protection, and penal populism. The first mistake states can make, the author argues, is not to adopt hate crime legislation. The second error arguably pertains to conceptualizing hate crimes as an identity protection but not a minority-protection mechanism and instrument. The third fallacy the author identifies concerns legislative and practical policies that conceptualize victims based on self-identification and not on the perpetrator’s (or the wider community’s) potential perception and classification. The fourth flaw concerns the abuse of the concept of hate crime when it is applied in interethnic conflicts wherein members of minority communities are perpetrators and the victims are members of the majority communities. The fifth is institutional discrimination through the systematic underpolicing of hate crimes.
