«A criminalidade de estrangeiros em Portugal» is the scientific study by Hugo Martinez de Seabra and Tiago Santos, published by the Observatório da Imigração.
The book analyses the discourse associating foreigners with criminality in Portugal. Using data from the 2001 census and the Portuguese Ministry of Justice, it compares foreigners and Portuguese while controlling for sex, age and employment status. It concludes that this higher criminality is illusory: the differences appear in the procedural stages and in the sentences.
Edition of 226 pages in Portuguese; the study is based on criminal proceedings concluded between 1997 and 2003.
Academic reading for those interested in the sociology of deviance, criminal law and immigration policies in Portugal.
