However, this relationship has not been researched in the UK to any great extent, and consequently the information on the UK context is limited. This research investigates how the criminality of foreign nationals have been constructed by examining the nature of immigration policy, foreign criminality discourses, and the media in the UK to understand how crime in particular has been used to define, refine, and inform control of immigrants. This study refers to the legislative, policy, and political factors that underpin this process, and particularly explains how immigration policy and political debates have emphasised the criminality of foreign nationals in the UK. In order to achieve these goals, this research reviews a brief history of British immigration policy and legislation and outlines the connections made between foreign nationals and non-immigration criminal offences. In addition, secondary data from different British institutions and data collected via the Freedom of Information Act 2000 have been used to illustrate the level of foreigners’ criminality as well as the type of crimes compared to the British representation. Finally, Parliamentary debates and related political discourses have been used to examine the role of politics has in reinforcing the relationship between foreign nationals and crime and elevating negative public sentiment and the relationship with media reports. This research highlights the limitations of existing data relating to the criminality of foreign nationals in offending records in England and Wales, partly due to the disorganised recording of offender nationality. This study reveals that nationality is the new racism; whilst immigration has become a central focus in political and public discourses on crime they as a group in statistical terms exhibit low levels of offending but are more likely to be imprisoned for less serious crimes. The relationship between foreign nationals and crimes is thus a political issue rather than a legal one. As such, foreign nationals supposed criminality has been used to control immigration, avoid the blame of failing policies, gain electoral votes, and facilitate changes in immigration and crime policies.

About the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a leading international civil society organisation (CSO).

The line was closed. This caused massive problems for rail users. Charlie chaired the sea wall repair task force and brought everyone together. He worked tirelessly to get the sea wall repaired as quickly as possible. Usually, a full rebuild like this takes two years. They thought it could be done in a year. In the end they managed it in just nine months. The railway re-opened in September. Charlie says, “I know how hard rail users found it. So I really wanted to sort things out as fast as possible. I’m so proud of how well the team worked to rebuild the wall. It shows how great our On the high speed train at Dover nation is at building and engineering.” Charlie has been fighting to make our borders stronger and more secure.

  • Jess Phillips
    Jess Phillips MP for Birmingham Yardley 2015- Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding April 2020- 4 December 2020 Arriving in Westminster UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): When you were elected in May 2015, did you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a Parliament that is going to be dominated by the referendum on Europe’? Jess Phillips (JP): Not at all. This is a terrible thing to admit, but I’m going to say it, I’d be happy to stand by it. I think I even missed, in the 2015 election, that the Tories had even made a manifesto pledge to have a referendum. It’s hard to remember, because there is so much water under the bridge and so much has changed. It certainly was never something that anyone said to me on the doorstep in the 2015 general election. It was not a thing I campaigned for or against or had really any opinion, going into Parliament, about. Certainly, it would never have been a feature of anything that I was saying, in order to be elected, and it wasn’t something that I was ever asked about. So, no, I didn’t expect for Europe even to be a major factor in what I was going to be doing in Parliament then. UKICE: And then, obviously immediately after the election, Ed Miliband stood down and there was a Labour leadership contest. I just wondered whether Europe featured at all in that? In particular, when it looked as though Jeremy Page 1/20 Corbyn was in with a shout, whether you felt his position on Europe was a big issue at all in that leadership contest? JP: Not that I can remember.

  • R V Charles Elphicke Character References
    5 6 7 05/08/2020 Ref: Mr Charles Elphicke To whom it may concern: My name is Neil Wiggins. I am a 53-year-old company director born in Dover 28/01/1967. I first met Mr Elphicke, who I shall hereafter refer to as Charlie, in 2010 on the day when he took up the seat in Parliament for Dover and Deal, to which he had just been elected for the first time. I had written to him during the election campaign of 2010 with some ideas as to how the then proposed privatisation of the Port of Dover could be successfully countered in such a way as to ensure that the port would either remain as a Trust Port or be transferred into the ownership of its local community in perpetuity. Charlie’s response was to invite my family and I to the Houses of Parliament once he had taken up his position so that I could give him a complete briefing whilst my family were given a tour of The House. On this occasion we spoke for a couple of hours and it was during this meeting that the foundations of what became a successful campaign to prevent the private equity sale of the Port of Dover were laid. Charlie and I worked closely together on this project over the succeeding 2 years and became friends during this time. We met quite often as families with Charlie, Natalie, myself, my wife, and our children ). As with pretty much any type of significant campaign to alter the course of action chosen by a government, our wives and children joined us on Saturday mornings distributing information, meeting with people and talking to them, helping us to deliver leaflets, attending Town Hall and Village Hall meetings and so on.
