Channel: John Jay Research
Date: 2013-11-07

Edited by Professor and Chair of the John Jay Sociology Department David Brotherton, and Criminal Justice Doctoral Students Daniel Stageman and Shirley Leyro, Outside Justice looks at the overlap between public perceptions of immigration and criminality, and its reflection in the practical overlap between criminal justice and immigration control systems.  In this, the first of the Office of the Advancement of Research's Fall Semester Book Talks, a panel of contributing authors to the volume will discuss the progress in their research since the time of publication, and their thoughts on the potential effects of immigration legislation on the policies and practices under study.  Subjects are as diverse as driver's license policy and 'immigration enforcement through traffic enforcement', the Secure Communities program, immigrant quality of life under the threat of restrictive state laws, and the effects of deportation on the social cohesion of immigrant communities.
