- catalog abstract ""This volume examines several immigrant populations and explores why waves of youthful crime emerge in some of these populations but not in others. Author Tony Waters uses data from 100 years of United States immigration records, particularly in California, to examine immigrant groups such as Laotians, Koreans, and Mexicans in the late 20th Century, as well as Mexicans and Molokan Russians in the early 20th Century. Crime and Immigrant Youth is a unique study of migration as a process that sometimes leads to youthful crime beyond the norms of either the home or host culture." "This book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice, police studies, social work, migration studies, government studies, urban affairs, social problems, education, and policy studies. It is also valuable for researchers, academics, policy makers, and practitioners in these fields."--Jacket.".
