Race-based policing operates within a structure of racist nativism where white skin is a marker of U.S. citizenship, and brown skin is an indication of being foreign-born. Law enforcement at all levels, including the local level, situated their attention toward Latino immigrant men, especially those perceived as working-class, when compared to white U.S. citizen wives. The penalties for racial profiling included family strain through detention and deportation of Latin-American born men. In addition to human rights violations for undocumented Latino immigrants, U.S. citizens are serving as collateral damage in an already broken immigration system that racially profiles Latino immigrant men. Couples’ precariousness situations contest the rhetoric that police are only protecting citizens’ national security. Framed by racist nativism, the findings have implications for anti-oppressive, evidence-based immigration policy. Contemporary Justice Review - Registration at source 8/5/2019 Research article Targeting the Most Harmful Co-Offenders in Denmark: A Social Network Analysis Approach Is there a ‘power few’ individuals in Denmark who, through consistent co-offending, produce the highest frequency of crimes and the most harm to society amongst all co-offenders? We analysed official statistics from the Police Crime Case Management System in Denmark on all 437,717 charges for violations of the Danish Criminal Code, the Illegal Substances Act and the Weapons Act, in which co-offender relationships were identified from 2007 to 2017, equal to 28% of the national total of all 1,554,943 such charges filed against both solo offenders and co-offenders in that time period. We cross-referenced charging records with crime harm values taken from the Danish Crime Harm Index to measure the severity of all offence types charged. A social network analysis (SNA) algorithm was applied to the data to test for centrality and identify key co-offenders. While 7.5% of the co-offending population accounted for 50% of crime volume, only 3.6% of the co-offenders accounted for 50% of total crime harm. The latter made up just 1.2% of the overall offender population in Denmark, but contributed 24% of overall harm. Social network analysis of how central that power few was in relation to other co-offenders suggests an even smaller cohort of co-offenders—the ‘power few of the power few’—who are disproportionality more connected to other co-offenders. The ‘power few’ phenomenon exists in co-offender networks, with a pronounced concentration of harm caused by a small number of co-offenders. The evidence suggests that targeting co-offenders based on social network analysis can enhance the harm potentially reduced by both investigations and crime prevention strategies.
