Preface

When compiling the Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity, Crime, and Immigration, our inten-
tion was to produce the most authoritative and scholarly source of research and exper-
tise on the topics around race, ethnicity, and immigration in the United States and
across the Western world. Th e idea to edit the Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity, Crime, and
Immigration was born aft er realizing that the key issues around various racial, ethnic, or
immigrant groups are oft en interrelated (in the sense that some racial groups are at the
same time also ethnic minorities and/or immigrants and vice versa), but the three areas
oft en remain separated or—alternatively—become very confl ated in most scholarly
analysis. Th e Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity, Crime, and Immigration is the fi rst edited
volume to combine these three key research areas into one book. We have recruited out-
standing scholars to contribute to this handbook and hope that our readers will feel that
this end-product fulfi lls our intention.
In this handbook, our readers will fi nd up-to date, in-depth critical reviews of the
main research on immigration, crime, and ethnicity, its key issues and controver-
sial debates, as well as relevant policy recommendations and ideas for areas for future
research. In addition to these essays, our handbook also contains a smaller number of
national and international case studies on cutting-edge topics. We have compiled the
Oxford Handbook of Ethnicity, Crime, and Immigration with a very diverse readership
in mind. We anticipate that scholars will use the handbook to prepare lectures and as an
essential background resource for research projects. Similarly, we think that policy mak-
ers and non-governmental agencies working on issues around immigration, ethnicity,
and race will fi nd the book an invaluable source of knowledge. At the same time, the
extensive overview essays on diff erent topics and national contexts seem indispensable
for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students who are taking courses
on race, ethnicity, immigration, and crime.
Th is handbook could not have come together without the extraordinary help by
and dedication of Robbi Strandemo and Su Smallen. Both of them have spent numer-
ous hours keeping the authors and us on track, communicating with Oxford University
Press and seeing this project through from start to fi nish. Th ank you, we are very grate-
ful to you! Our thanks and gratitude also go out to our many contributing authors, with-
out whom this project never could have been successful. Lastly, we are grateful to the
editors and the staff at Oxford University Press, particularly, James Cook and Jennifer
Vafi dis, for believing in this Handbook and helping us to realize the project.
