In the course of the last two decades, the number of arrests, imprisonment and detention of aliens and citizens of foreign origin has increased significantly in the West. This volume examines this growing trend towards racial criminalization and victimization of migrants in the West, exploring the problem in a polysemous context that concerns immigrants, deviants and the many salient characteristics affecting both emigrating and immigrating societies and relations between the two poles.
