New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Making sense of immigration -- Divergent perspectives: social disorganization and segmented assimilation -- Framing the immigration-crime question -- Are new Americans really new criminals? the relationship between crime and immigration -- New neighbors or new targets? Anti-immigrant hate crime -- Conclusions.

Analysis of anti-immigrant hate crimes suggests that while traditional receiving areas, especially those made up of older arrivals, may buffer.
